Discourse email formatting
The formatting after the weekly is emailed to Discourse is always quite bad. I have been manually editing it. It would be nice if it worked better.
https://discourse.nixos.org/t/nixos-weekly-06-nixos-weekly/7896
The formatting is still messed up. I tried looking int this repo for information about how @domenkozar posts to Discourse and I don't see anything.
Emails are sent from mailchimp and then forwarded to discourse via ifttt.com
I haven't look into this because the email I get from mailchimp renders correctly.
I don't have much control over ifttt or discourse, but I can try using something else than ifttt to see if that fixes it.
Looking at what ifttt.com sends: <h1>News</h1> <h2>Announcements</h2>, meaning that it must be discourse email to markdown conversion that is imperfect.

- Cachix: write access control for binary caches
<https://blog.cachix.org/posts/2020-11-09-write-access-control-for-binary-caches/>
The trust of who created binary cache contents comes from who owns the
private signing key.
This approach has a number of disadvantages when it comes to lifecycle in
teams, so API tokens are now the default way to manage write access.

Are there settings on discourse to prefer html over plaintext when receiving email?
That looks like discourse is parsing those emails wrong, is there a way to update discourse and see?
Probably due to https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/lib/html_to_markdown.rb
Yeah. We are hosted by Discourse so we cannot update it to see, but we can submit failing tests or a fix. We could first try submitting a bug report on the Meta Discourse.
I posted on the Discourse Meta https://meta.discourse.org/t/issues-with-html-to-markdown-converter-on-incoming-email/171518
I just looked more closely at the HTML from your email and see that it has some bad formatting:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://kamadorueda.github.io/nixpkgs-db/#/about">Announcing Nixpkgs Database</a></li>
</ul>
<p>A database and search engine for the entire history of each package at <a href="https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs">Nixpkgs</a>.</p>
The description paragraph is outside of the list item, so it doesn't seem like Discourse has any hope of realizing that should be matched up to the list item.
In that case it's a bug in WYSIWYG editor on mailchimp :(
Let's see if the newline issue was fixed by discourse.
