But the QEMU list itself is OK with HTML email (we prefer plain text, but we don't reject HTML).
I subscribed to sr.ht some time ago to test the service because they provide a CI, git hosting, mailing list, so this might come from my account. If so, I'm surprise it send email on the subscriber behalf.
Per https://man.sr.ht/lists.sr.ht/etiquette.md#plain-text: Rich text is not desirable for development-oriented email conversations, so you should disable this feature and send your email as "plain text". Every email client is different, you should research the options for your specific client. HTML emails are rejected by all sr.ht services.Surprisingly there is no option to allow HTML... (plain text is a design feature).
