I'm quite puzzled why is the gmx-users still rejecting non-plain
text messages. There has not been a single opinion in favor of
keeping the mailing list crippled.</blockquote>

Dear all,<br>
<br>
Recently the Gromacs mailing lists have been
used for sending spam and<br>
viruses, and thus now only plain text messages
are accepted.<br>
<br>
If you have received rejected mails saying
"The message's content type was not<br>
explicitly allowed" it means that you have
used in your mail special styles or<br>
formatting (e.g. bold typeface, colors etc.).<br>
<br>
Check your email client settings about how to
send messages as plain text,<br>
e.g. in GMail make sure to click on "Compose
-> Plain Text". Check also<br>
whether a formatted signature is added.<br>
<br>
Attachments are also not allowed but you could
include links for downloads.<br>

Bump.<br>
<br>
I'm happy banning attachments (there's lots of
free upload space out there), but<br>
think that explicitly requiring plain text email
is a significant barrier to<br>
participation. Some web mail clients don't
permit a non-HTML mime type - that's<br>
not our fault but we have to live in that
jungle. Some people will walk away<br>
without bothering to find out if they can
configure plain text email. Others<br>
will judge the technical competence of the team
on their ability to run the<br>
mailing list. If we need to outsource it
somewhere, we should do that.<br>

I agree with Mark here. It seems to me that
traffic to the list has been down for a couple of
weeks relative to normal, but there may be other
factors for that. What I do know is that I'm
getting increasing amounts of emails to my
personal inbox starting with "I can't post to the
Gromacs list, so I'm sending this to you..."
That's an increased burden I'm not willing to
bear. I'm all for community contributions (you
all know that ;) but as soon as it becomes my
responsibility to handle Gromacs issues, I'm less
inclined.<br>

I think everyone agrees that we need to accept html
mails.<br>
<br>
The question is if we need some filter and when Rossen,
or someone else, has time to fix this.<br>
