Hi, it is _not_ "fine". >Note that only the text/plain alternative will be used to construct >the archive, [snip] This is what text/plain of multipart/alternative messages usually looks like by this list's archive, as well as by the list's former mailman archive: https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-questions/2022-June/001448.html It does exactly look this way, when displayed by Claws on my my machine and on any other mailing list's archive. The reply starts below a broken signature separator followed by a quoted signature. The broken signature separator is not necessarily related to HTML. The reply itself starts with >-char quotation mark, a common issue with HTML mails. A lot of interleaved posting mails also look like this, at least then it's an unreasonable demand to expect from a recipient to decode such emails. Nothing at all is "fine" with messages that don't separate quotes from the reply? As a consequence: https://lists.claws-mail.org/pipermail/users/2022-June/030466.html Regards, Ralf
