Hi

The other day I attempted to send a message from my mail client (Apple computer, Mail program, html--well, what they call Rich Text). While a user was able to send a message previously that contained an image, I was unsuccessful.

It should be the same as Mailman 2.1. What are your settings for content filtering. In Postorius the only thing exposed are Settings -> Alter Messages -> Filter content, Collapse alternatives and Convert html to plaintext. If this Filter content Yes, content is filtered according to the other two settings and MIME parts may be removed according to the list settings filter_types, pass_types, filter_extensions and pass_extensions. These settings exist in core, but aren't exposed in Postorius. For a new MM3 list these settings are empty, but for a list imported from Mailman 2.1, they are set according to the corresponding MM 2.1 settings.

I suspect in your case the issue is Filter content and Collapse alternatives are both Yes.

Or perhaps the issue is HyperKitty's rendering of the message

As well, links were weird.

LINKS

Because My wordpress often has a Japanese URL and they can become very long, I tried both the URL as is and embedded (made a clickable html link).

URL

So while I typed https://www.tokyoprogressive.org/journalist-ito-shiori-sues-alleged-rapis....

It came out double as

https://www.tokyoprogressive.org/journalist-ito-shiori-sues-alleged-rapis... <https://www.tokyoprogressive.org/journalist-ito-shiori-sues-alleged-rapis... (The full link was truncated with ... at the end, and the link appeared twice with the second instance preceded by "">")

I think the doubling is due to your MUA. The truncation of the displayed link in HyperKitty is expected, but the link itself should reference the full URL.

The embedded one did not come out embedded buy showed the text like this: Alternate link: 多摩川河川敷に男性の遺体、増水した川に流されたか <https://www.tokyoprogressive.org/%e5%a4%9a%e6%91%a9%e5%b7%9d%e6%b2%b3%e5%...

What do these look like in the message received from thge list as opposed to HyperKitty?

QUESTION 1: Is there a preferred way to write links, or will there always be problems with the mail clients? (Even the web archive shows this problem though):

https://list.tokyoprogressive.org/hyperkitty/list/discuss@list.tokyoprogress...

See what this looks like at <https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/message/...>

See the top item Homeless man drowns in river during Typhoon and what I mean.

The first of those 3 links actually works. The other two don't work because the Japanese characters have been encoded as hex values by your MUA (which may be HyperKitty if you are posting via HyperKitty.

To answer your question, you can just type the URL as you did above in your thread link, or you can surround it with angle brackets as I did in my message link. If you don't use angle brackets, it should be surrounded by whitespace to avoid ambiguity. See <https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3986#appendix-C>

IMAGE No image appears though one was added inline.

And, as I said, a user was previously able to add one. I do not know how she did it. I also posted it to my web site instead of the newsletter for unrelated reasons. But there was an image (Originally got a warning the message was held because the attachment or something).

So are there guidelines one whether/how to attach an image so that it makes it?

Are you posting via email or HyperKitty? If by email, I suspect the issue is Filter content and Collapse alternatives are both Yes. If by HyperKitty you can only post plain text.
