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).
