Votes were taken on whether to block non-text messages or not.

740 subscribers. About 30 participated in the vote 18 - for 9 - against 3 - i cannot figure out what they said

There was also 1 vote for Digests being MIMEd.

One common request from all camps was that html mails/senders of these mails should not be blocked completely, but if possible should be converted to text and sent forward. If it is blocked, then the user should be notified about why it was blocked and how he can fix it.

Admin's decision:

filter content.

primarily text/plain will be allowed through. signed mails will also be allowed. text/html will be converted to text/plain. Other attachments will be stripped.

Messages will be dropped if there is nothing left in them after filtering (eg, someone sends html mail that has no content).
