That's how a lot of mail clients do it when people write their emails with a wysiwyg editor. Yes, there are multiple possible solutions, they're just not trivial to implement.

This is not a bug in the web interface, but a misconfiguration on the poster's part. Newsgroup messages are expected to contain a text part, since many clients will ignore any other text formats. That includes DFeed, because displaying HTML messages securely is not trivial.

My current employer blocks SMTP, so when I'm at work, I'm forced to post via the web interface (instead of my local client, which I'd much prefer to use), and my e-mail provider just changed their web interface recently, which made it so that they were sending really munged messages (which were probably html). I think that I've managed to force it to be plaintext again, and my messages seem to no longe be munged, but maybe there are still problems. Certainly, if my messages ever show up as anything other than plaintext, I'd like to know so that I can fix it. - Jonathan M Davis
