I considered the idea of trying to strip it out before writing messages to the tech-talk archive, but that's not easy. Many emails now come base64-encoded with multi-part content, and if a message containing a decorated URL is signed, stripping the decoration off would break that signature. Note that ProofPoint do recognize signed messages and don't try to decorate the signed sections, so if you want your messages to not get decorated sign them before sending to the list.

Hi, Andrew!

Bummer. :-(  As I'm sure you know, I completely disagree with this for
the reasons I already stated upthread.  Any chance of hosting the EPICS
mailing lists elsewhere then?

Thanks!

Lewis

P.S. Just a test to see what happens if I change the URL scheme:

* xttps://github.com/epics-modules/sequencer/
* httpx://github.com/epics-modules/sequencer/
* h://github.com/epics-modules/sequencer/
* ://github.com/epics-modules/sequencer/
* //github.com/epics-modules/sequencer/
