"An HTML attachment was scrubbed..."

What's with this message deletion? I've not had it happen in prior
mails.
This whole thing of (seems to me) the Linux community abhorring HTML mail is beyond the pale. It's REALLY aggravating and only serves to limit the audience to The Chosen Few. It'll probably scrub this one, too.

The 'Linux community' abhors bloat and obfuscation. There is zero reason to send HTML emails other than to make your formatting 'pretty'. They are at least twice as big, usually more, than a regular text emails. They are unreadable by many email clients. Yes, some people still read their mail in a text console. They automatically load external references from the internet. They hide viruses. They add nothing of value. > It's REALLY aggravating And I find it aggravating sorting through useless bloated HTML emails. Many people filter them straight into the junk bin.

This entire topic is beating a dead horse however. A simple google for 'html email harmful' will provide you many links worth of compelling arguments why technical minded folks don't like HTML emails. No matter which you prefer, and the relative merits thereof, the simple fact is the community you are trying to communicate with doesn't like HTML emails.

Shouldn't most mail clients that use HTML include both a text and an HTML version in the email so that other mail clients can display either?
Is this something new that's been turned on for the list, or is Paul's client doing something it didn't used to? Are entire emails being rejected, or just sections? Personally, I don't think HTML is worth the overhead, but there's too much out there to be discarding emails. -------------------------- Sent using BlackBerry ----- Original Message ----- From: Darren Kirby <[hidden email]> To: digiKam - Home Manage your photographs as a professional with the power of open source <[hidden email]> Sent: Tue Nov 09 05:08:18 2010 Subject: [Digikam-users] Re: "An HTML attachment was scrubbed..."

But if there's both an HTML and a text section, why not just strip out the HTML? I thought the issue here was problems reading the mail, not with the bandwidth use.
I'm not suggesting any changes to long standing arrangements, just wondering is this blocking has only just been turned on. There's absolutely no need for HTML in a list like this, but I think those who inadvertently try it need explanations and assistance, not blank rejections. Almost all Windows users have it configured by default without their knowledge. Users of Outlook, etc, I would suggest changing the setting to text mode, but with HTML replies to HTML emails. That's a reasonable compromise. And sorry, I'd dearly love to post/inter quote for you, but a Blackberry phone *cannot* do that. I have complained, and requested the development of an app to reformat to allow it, but no one appears interested, or to understand the need for it. -------------------------- Sent using BlackBerry ----- Original Message ----- From: jdd <[hidden email]> To: [hidden email] <[hidden email]> Sent: Tue Nov 09 06:25:26 2010 Subject: [Digikam-users] Re: "An HTML attachment was scrubbed..."
