Most email clients send both an html and a plain text component. Some lists strip the HTML and only display the plain text. Others can accept HTML without a problem, for example Groups.io lists. Using Mail for Windows 10 with them works fine.
>From my limited research it seems Mail for Windows 10 only sends an HTML component. The Elecraft list software then appears to accept the email and post the header, but not display any content. Whether or not it then generates an error message to the list owners I don't know. It certainly doesn't provide any 'bounce' notice to the sender. Caveat: I have no access to the list mechanisms, just a passing familiarity with having run a few listservs at work. Unless the list is capable of being re-configured (possibly with the ' *convert_html_to_plaintext* ' option?), I would urge some notice be given to users that this list is incompatible with Mail for Windows 10, since there does not appear to be any sort of error feedback other than that provided by other users who let you know your message did not get through. Doing so might also reduce the amount of "test" and empty-content messages on the list. Since Mail for Windows 10 is the default mail client for any PC running Windows 10, the issue is unlikely to go away on it's own. 73 de Chuck, WS1L On Wed, Apr 29, 2020 at 6:56 AM N4ZR <n...@comcast.net> wrote: > I, too, use Thunderbird with Windows 10.
