I posted a question to wikipedia-l yesterday on my problems in getting this email to work, and without meaning to provoke debate there, that's exactly what i have done. So far, there has been much hostility to the idea, for many practical reasons. Main alternatives proposed to the html version would be a plain text, which apparently can be configured to display the languages in your browser (though Anthere wasn't so sure) and a PDF version. which apparently displays links. Obviously both alternatives require their own levels of expertise, neither of which i have. So all I can do is to focus on the html version while others possibly work on the other suggestions. I seem to remember seeing someone volunteering to design PDF but couldn't find it when I went back - can anyone remember who this is?
And if your interested, the wikipedia-l thread - steam, warts and all can be read at: http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikipedia-l/2005-April/thread.html#38992
