The lists.sr.ht server replied to my dev mail submission with the
following sort of message
"We received your email, but were unable to deliver it because it
contains HTML..."

I was writing a quick mail rfc on capstone, and forgot to uncheck
the HTML option in gmail.  The mail was delivered to the list
anyway even given the "undelivered" message.

Was simply highlighting some potential issue in the mail server you
use.

For patch submission I have a script, so it wont come as html.
Just when I am not on that machine I will use webmail to check/send
quick replies.

The mail submission system is a pain, but I want these fixes in
so am willing to take the bitter with the sweet.

Cheers,
Luc
