[Tools-discuss] Why is inline CSS editing on IETF mailing lists?

[Mark Nottingham <[e-mail]>]

Hi,

I've noticed that mail sent to IETF lists appears to have its inline CSS edited; in the message below, an extra "." is prefixed onto these rules, with the effect that they aren't applied:

> ..repos { margin-bottom: 0; margin-top:0; line-height: 1.2; }
> ..new { color: red; }
> ..label { display: inline;
> 	padding: .2em .6em .3em;
> 	font-size: 75%;
> 	font-weight: 700;
> 	line-height: 1;
> 	color: #fff;
> 	text-align: center;
> 	white-space: nowrap;
> 	vertical-align: baseline;
> 	border-radius: .25em;
> }

Compare with <https://www.w3.org/mid/[e-mail]>.

Cheers,
