Is yahoogroups wrapping all that html crap around everyone's mail now?

We have a filter that is yanking all the list traffic to
"probable-spam", because the load of html is such a large percentage of
the messages. I know there are some other things the filter is looking
at, so that's not the whole story, but it probably pushes them over the
edge.

If my mail comes through with all the html, then I guess the answer must
be yes.

If not, then what?

You can change it in your yahoo mail settings.

That mailing list is now available from Gmane, so you have an
alternative.

you mean that somehow yahoogroups and gmane are coordinated so that the
same messages are relayed through both?

how does that work?

but I simply subscribed to the list, I'm not a member of yahoo and have
no yahoo mail, so I can't make any settings changes.

can the owner of the mailing list not change this globally?

it would certainly save a lot of disk space and bandwidth for a lot of
people, especially those who save back messages.

It's really offtopic, please read gmane FAQ.

You don't need to have a yahoo mail account, you need to have your account here -
http://groups.yahoo.com/ and then you can change an option to Traditional:
Step 3. Message Preference
Select a display format for any email messages you may receive:
Fully Featured New & Improved!
Traditional
in http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/milter-greylist/join

I don't know if it's possible w/o having yahoogroups account.

I don't know, but probably no.

Examination of the HTML garbage suggests that you can send an e-mail to
milter-greylist-traditional@yahoogroups.com with a subject of "Change
Delivery Format: Traditional".

I tried that for myself - I suppose I'll soon see if it works.
