Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 307
HTML functionality for our mailing lists
Last modified: 2007-10-11 02:44:12 UTC
Digests do not show up in outlook express, since it does show attachments inline. Does the mailing list programs generate an HTML mail?
Our mailing lists do not have the ability to generate HTML email at this time. I will see if i can gather any other information.

Please do not mix up differrent issues. What I'm asking for in 294 is, that ezmlm should accept HTML for the new features lists. Bill is asking for sending digests in HTML by ezmlm here. This may be an enhancement for ezmlm.
accepting issue
Generally speaking, the folks who work with open source tools such as ezmlm are not fond of HTML mail. It would be possible to generate such, one way or another -- but I seriously doubt that any such enhancement would make its way into the ezmlm distribution. What is the precise problem with outlook? It'd be nice to find some way to solve it which doesn't require using HTML email. Too many people will have difficulty reading HTML mail (esp. w/ open source projects) for that to be an ideal solution ...
It seems like this issue is closed. If no activity in the next few days, i'll close it out.
will submit as enhancement requrest for SourceCast, but this will not be happening for current site.
Close now, its to old
