This "feature" was removed recently (around 2b25-7), because it is "the wrong way to do it".
The correct way to insert HTML into email, is to use MIME and insert it as a text/html part, not by just embedding it in the text of your message.
If hypermail parses stuff embedded directly into the message, then archives won't properly display discussions of HTML syntax, for one thing. The following paragraph would break:
Not to mention that the
<HTML>
...
</HTML>
syntax broke archives for some browsers, which interpret </HTML> as an
"end of page" marker.
So, there are good reasons not to do what the old version did...
But for backward compatibilities sake, it probably would have been nice if they had left a "hm_oldinlinehtml" flag in there, or something. Perhaps the relevant code can be added back in and disabled by default, before the 2.0 release?
