Any consequences at all?John -- I'm not aware of any serious consequences to message delivery or readability with respect to any of these settings. Most modern email clients send messages as html, but can be configured not to. So messages are going to come into your group in both html and plain text, depending on what the sender sent. If you don't check any of the checkboxes, they are forwarded without change, except to add a corresponding footer. Be advised that the plain text footers look different from the html footer, so there is some benefit to checking one of the boxes, to provide your group's emails with a consistent "look." If you check Force Html, every message going out will be in html, and will have the html-styled footer. The plain-text digest will be disabled. If you check Plain Text Only, all html will be stripped from messages before they are sent.* I don't know for sure if this disables the Full Featured Digest subscription option. I also don't know what happens if you check both, as the two seem mutually incompatible. If Normalize HTML Emails is checked, it strips font styling (e.g.: size and color) from any outgoing html emails, leaving the rest alone. Hope this helps, Bruce *Although plain text messages are indeed sent as plain text, many email clients will auto-detect any string that appears to be a URL and "linkify" it. This can be a source of some confusion for people who believe they can disable hyperlinks by using plain text formatting and only to end up seeing them in the messages anyway. |

Force HTML Emails
Make all emails HTML and remove the plain text digest option.
