Strikethrough shows in the archive for my message in this (beta) group, which was posted by email. But not in the archive of a message in my test group posted via the group. But it did come through in the email of that same message. -- Shal

Would strike-through come through anyway in plain text, which is how I and many

others always read email? If it's showing something significant about the edit, another way of doing it might be more appropriate. Jim Fisher

Jim,
Would strike-through come through anyway in plain text, which is how INot if you have your email client or service set to show you the text/plain part of a multipart message. My own preference for plain text notwithstanding, I think you "and many others" are a vanishingly small minority, getting smaller all the time. If it's showing something significant about the edit, another way ofArguably true of Bold or any other text formatting as well. But that wasn't the point - this was a bug report not a comment on preferred practice. -- Shal

Shal, The issue was with what CSS we allow when displaying messages in the archive. We have to 'cook' any HTML messages before displaying them, to ensure that no malicious stuff is presented (javascript pointing to malware, for example). We're very conservative with what CSS is displayed. The HTML widget on the site generates strikethrough using the text-decoration CSS tag, which we were not permitting. I've whitelisted it, and now strikethrough should display. There are multiple ways to generate strikethrough (it's unclear to me which is best). Your email client probably generated strikethrough using an HTML tag, which we support. Thanks, Mark

Yahoo used to publish in a help page the whitelist of HTML tags that it would allow in Group descriptions and messages. It applied that whitelist even to message bodies passed through as individual messages. They took down that help page a few years ago and replaced it with "try it and see, you're on your own if it doesn't work". -- Shal
