This is long overdue and kudos to all involved.
I'm already noticing the more useful side effects such as the url
change, performance and the better formatted emails

Hello,
I didn't see this thread before. Thank you Daniel for the update.

About the HTML mails, I like them, it's easier to scan what changed
than the previous format.
