Rupert raises an interesting point. How many people prefer such
mailing list announcements of new reports to include a plaintext
version of the report itself?
With the general monthly WMF report, we are always including a
plaintext version (example:
http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimediaannounce-l/2012-September/000…
). But it's a bit of an overhead and we have been wondering if it is
worthwhile. (One possible benefit, besides better readability on
mobile devices according to Rupert, is that one can search the report
in one's inbox together with other mailing list postings.)
So hands up, who else reads or uses these plaintext email versions of
such reports, and wants to see them included in the future?
(Separately, there is the possibility of sending full HTML versions by
email. This is something we started doing, somewhat experimentally,
for the Wikimedia Research Newsletter - see
https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/research-newsletter - but
I assume this would not be desirable or acceptable for this list.)
