Indeed. I'm skeptical about how well encapsulation will go over with end-users who have no understanding about these issues (nor should they). End users just care about how the email looks in their mail readers. I'm concerned that this will be a nice, RFC-compliant feature that makes things easy and workable for all the automated systems involved, but will look horrible to end-users and just make them upset. If that's the case then IMHO, it a failure. OTOH, maybe we won't know for sure until it gets *a lot* more testing. But I think it's a mistake to say "well, we just have to force MUA developers to catch up". As we've seen with something presumably as simple as reply-to-list, it (almost) never happens. -Barry _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list Mailman-Developers@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
