A URL, or embedded content as part of HTML?

If it were just a URL, even an HTML-enabled client would show just the link. I assumed that it must be embedded content, which would be rendered as a normal-looking message.

Maybe it's both. But even so, I'd just see the link. And generally, I ignore blank messages containing links.

Also, it's not uncommon for email list software to strip HTML, and I doubt that it would decode the HTML before doing so.

How do you even use a mailing list properly with this going on?

The big deal here is users do not get copies of content, instead notifications content is, or may be available.

And that's then. What about searching mail archives? You know just that sort of thing being just a little broken is not an accident.

Or it changes.

"You told me to fuck off"

"Prove it"

Message says hugs and kisses.

That's gonna happen. Count on it, with lame screenshot battles being "proof."
