Oh wow this is still broken?
In Outlook, all other e-mails show up normally. Looks like the issue is that it's encoding the message with a Content-Type: text/plain
which makes the e-mail client think it's text-only.
Still broken in 2024.
Minor quality issues like this and broken verification links going unresolved for years reflects poorly on the PowerShell ecosystem and community. We can't expect quality packages from authors when the gallery itself is broken. I really hope PowerShell Gallery can get some much needed attention soon. Or maybe open source it like NugetGallery. /cc @SydneyhSmith
Email coming from the Gallery is not formatted properly, or is formatted in a way that gets mangled in transit.
I recently needed to contact a package owner. Here is the copy of the email I received. It looks like there is a mix of markdown and html here and neither is being rendered properly.
