Hi Thomas,

Just got confirmation from Infra that HTML is stripped for all mailing
lists, so it's not an option unfortunately.

There may be alternatives. So are you able to receive HTML emails for
Apache's JIRA direct to your own email address - it's just the ones on the
ML? If so it may be possible to set up an alert on the BROOKLYN project so
that you personally receive all changes just like the list does. Then you
could filter-and-delete the JIRA messages on the Brooklyn list (or if
people feel that the JIRA emails on the list are not useful, then they
could potentially be stopped completely).

Richard.
