Hi, the monthly reports for the Atlas probes have received a new lower watermark... now I get mails that have a HTML body "with relevant information", and a text body that has basically boilerplate, and and an unsubscribe link (see below).
If you send MIME/Multipart, the different parts MUST be identical to be any useful. If you can't ensure that the text/plain part is meaningful, much better to not include it at all. Unfortunately, the readability of the HTML body also reached a new low - it was sort-of-ok-but-annoying in the last months, now it's the usual "optimized for outlook prettyprinting" with a full page of boilerplate and font definitions, and relevant information buried under tons of HTML tags. This is supposed to be a simple table with useful information, not a marketing brochure where "perfect rendering and colours and fonts" is where everyone gets excited about. Which brings me to "why should I want to support this effort at all anymore, if people so obviously do not care what *I* want?"... gert ----- Forwarded message from RIPE Atlas <[email protected]> ----- Date: Sat, 01 Aug 2026 02:06:24 +0000 From: RIPE Atlas <[email protected]> To: Gert Doering <[email protected]> Subject: Monthly probe report for probe #50014 v4 beta probe??? **RIPE NCC** Stationsplein 11, 1012 AB, Amsterdam This email was sent to [email protected] You've received this email because you are registered as a RIPE Atlas probe host.
