      • Perltidy - Are we using the standard configuration or one of the 2 files in the Koha codebase?
      • When and how should code be perltidied? Is it a separate commit or inline?
    • [Koha] Can the Koha Mailing List and DMARC become friends?
      • Could we improve our mailing list configuration? It looks like at the moment our mailing lists keep the "From" as the original sender, but it might need to be changed to be the mailing list address instead to avoid issues. See also: https://wiki.list.org/DEV/DMARC
        • There are implementatation details to consider if we adopt DMARC for the Koha mailing list which are presented at https://wiki.list.org/DEV/DMARC and have had some discussion on the Mailman mailing list. - thd
          • "Munge the From: header - The obvious way to avoid a DMARC rejection [...]"
          • "Wrap the message - This involves MIME wrapping the original message [...] Users of MUAs that can't unwrap this MIME decoration would suffer." The suffering would be some users of the very wide variety of email clients people use from console, to desktop, to some old mobile device may not see any body message and merely have an attachment requiring extra processing outside of the user's email program. See If MIMEs could talk: Email structures in the wild
