Message Formatting

Sharon Villines All Messages By This Member #4013 Message formatting includes: Force HTML Emails Make all emails HTML and remove the plain text digest option. Normalize HTML Emails Strip all different fonts and colors from HTML emails. Plain Text Only Strip out HTML messages Force HTML is definitely not what I want but am not sure what “normalizing” means. Does it strip formatting and leave plain text? Does “strip out HTML messages” mean the messages aren’t delivered? Or is the html converted to plain text meaning paragraphs of gibberish? What I want is plain text emails but I don’t want messages sent as html to be made weird or rejected. I’m setting up about 15 subgroups so all these settings are a lot of work. I don’t want to have to go back and change them. Sharon ---- Sharon Villines Takoma Village Cohousing, Washington DC
Shal Farley Member Profile All Messages By This Member #4019 Sharon, Does “strip out HTML messages” mean the messages aren’t delivered? ?? Plain Text Only strips out HTML formatting, leaving just the plain text of the message. Unlike the similar Yahoo Groups feature I don't believe it rejects messages which have no text/plain part. I suppose I should double-check that in my test group. Or you could, want an invite? ... but am not sure what “normalizing” means. Does it strip formatting and leave plain text? Normalize HTML Emails is similar, but gentler. It keeps simple formatting like italic and bold, but removes most other text formatting (font family, size, color). I don't recall if it passes or removes embedded images. Shal
Duane All Messages By This Member #4020 I have a couple of groups set to Plain Text Only.? That removes all formatting so you see only plain text.? It has upset a few people that spend all that time making messages look 'just so', but they get used to it. ;>)? I mainly used it so that folks like me on limited connections aren't having our bandwidth wasted.? Many folks don't even realize that dial-up and other slow/limited connections still exists! Duane

D R Stinson Member Profile All Messages By This Member #4027 Another benefit of plain text is that people with vision limitations see text in their preferred font and size without having to do any conversion stuff. Plain text uses the recipient's own set preferences for font and size on their display.

SP4149 All Messages By This Member #4034 Found out some YG list owners still use dial-up, they hadn't noticed a drop-off in performance... ken "It has always seemed strange to me," said Doc. "The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest are the traits of success."?

The Normalize HTML setting does allow inline images through, had to test it to be sure. There is a separate "Attachments" setting which can be used to strip attachments, including inline images. But doing that can leave an empty box where the image had been. Thunderbird shows it that way, but Groups.io's Messages section does not. Shal
