Re: [Wikimedia-l] [Wikimedia Announcements] Wikimedia engineering August 2012 report
Tilman Bayer, 05/09/2012 02:52: Rupert raises an interesting point. How many people prefer such mailing list announcements of new reports to include a plaintext version of the report itself? Usually I'm very more likely to read something if it's directly in the email, however long; a link means oh, more work, must be something long, of unknown length (I don't see it), requires one more click, and finally the click just sends the reading to the queue together with the other dozens tabs open in the browser. That said, a good compromise is, I found, to just include the HTML from the wiki page. HTML emails are horrible (and I usually fail at sending them) but converting wikitext to a readable email plaintext is horrible too.
