[Selenetest] Re: HTML from a different e-mail client

Is there a security/performance downside to letting HTML through? Because I don't think there are many non-html email clients left out there now. I know that spamassassin gives negative points to email which is only html. It thinks that is a Bad Sign, and that good mail should be multipart with plaintext and html versions - but it isn't a fatal problem, just something that contributes towards an overall score. -----Original Message----- From: Ælfred se leof via Selenetest Sent: Friday, 11 March 2022 6:56 AM To: selenetest@lochac.sca.org Cc: Dylan Kerr Subject: [Selenetest] Re: HTML from a different e-mail client Even worse, I sent another e-mail from the first e-mail client that didn't get through at all because the HTML-to-text program barfed on the non-ASCII characters. Anyone know any good HTML-to-text converters? Mailman's default is lynx but we didn't have that installed so I've tried python3-html2markdown and html2text. Or should we just let HTML through?

The To address looks good, encoding is worse!
