Hi all,
CIVS originally sent text/plain emails. But it was useful to be able to
embed links and to preserve election description formatting. The HTML it
sends is pretty minimal -- I don't think it should set off reasonable
spam filters. At least, I haven't heard this complaint before. Making
HTML mail an option seems like a good idea, though there are already too
many options for my taste. If someone wants to write that patch I'd be
happy to include it.
I hope the election system has been working well for everyone otherwise.
Cheers,
-- Andrew

Werner, your original ballot announcement ended up in my "Junk" box
accidentally by my filter. I only noticed it after a rare venture to
look to see what was there. Perhaps the HTML email is setting off
people's filters?
Probably. Frankly, I learned it only after starting that poll and
then it was too late. Anway, setting up my own election service for
this one-time event and send proper mails (i.e. text/plain) does not
seem to be justified.
Maybe someone can come up with a patch to the CIVS software to add an
option for sending non-HTML mails. It would be nice feature for other
projects too.
Salam-Shalom,
Werner
