Bernard,
It should be the user's choice if they want to get HTML or txt, as Kay
already mentioned, creation of both is not much more work than just one.
Unfortunately this is in my opinion not possible. I am send the
newsletter to the announce mailing list which handles the distribution.
Using two new 'newsletter' mailing list would imply that everyone has to
subscribe to one of this mailing list to receive a newsletter.
Regards
Kay

Hi all,
for me the question about HTML or txt is not a question of
preferences, but of target audience:
OOo project members getting dozens to hundreds of text mails will not
be interested in bloated HTML mails, but still want to be informed
about what is going on outside their specific projects.
Other people that want to be informed about the project from the
outside will be divided in two categories:
Some want to get plain text mails: Full information with the minimum
of download/storage space.
Others are interested in eye-catching well designed HTML newsletters.
I think this group is growing more and more:
- Users that just want to hear a bit more about OOo that they already
know.
- People just reached by our marketing efforts: A bit curious, but not
really interested.
- Internet lurkers appealed by our lovely homepage...
IMHO there is only one way to do our work properly:
- keep the text format on the announce mailing list
*plus*
- create a new list (or anything else) for HTML newsletters.
It should be the user's choice if they want to get HTML or txt, as Kay
already mentioned, creation of both is not much more work than just one.
Best regards
Bernhard
