[Once again: please don't top-post.]

I'm sceptical that *all* mailing list systems are based on listserv.
Listserv was certainly one of the first such servers (perhaps even the
first, I haven't dug deep enough to check), but I started administering
UNIX systems in the 70s and have literally never used a listserv system
so I prefer not to use that terminology. The Evolution list is based on
Mailman.

Be that as it may, although some lists do restrict the use of HTML, and
this list does strongly discourage *posting* in HTML for security
reasons, putting a URL in a message is fine.
