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

I’ve found that e-mail from the list displays correctly in the desktop e-mail clients I’ve tried but not in Roundcube. So Mailman/html2text seems to be generating some encoding understood by the desktop clients but not Roundcube. Regarding the attachment, I get the list footer as an attachment that my e-mail client calls ‘attachment.txt’. I’ve been looking for a setting that puts the footer at the end of the e-mail body instead but so far haven’t found it.

The To address looks good, encoding is worse!
