I recall a different outcome, because this reasoning looks flawed to me. Tools that process the announce-Emails automatically will be unable to "perform another mouse-click" in order to get to a page where there is an URL to the TXT document, so that option does not exist. Those who use a graphical frontend that is sensitive to follow URLs on mouse-click, will probably prefer the HTML variant over the TXT variant. The two changes that I would appreciate: Put the direct TXT URL back into the announcement. Fix the new URL to the HTML version in the announcment. -Martin
