MZMcBride's email about emails reminded me that every automated email from Wikimedia servers looks like a bunch of programming code.
The first idea was that it would be better to have some better formatted emails with some more information (for example, I would like to see diff inside of my email when I get notification about changing my talk page).
The main problem is that they are plain text instead of HTML.
This is most certainly /not/ a problem. What would be a problem would be if MediaWiki chose to jump on the bandwagon of embedding huge external images in emails to users. Bandwidth? Tracking? Smaller screens (mobile)? Text interfaces?
