@dietrich @intenttoship There’s a more “official” feed now: https://t.co/vxl1BuWp5I. It has the same problem as mine, though. @yoavweiss was proposing to RegEx (if this is a verb) the HTML and write back the links to point back to the mailing list…

@soMelanieSaid @MSEdgeDev Good luck with the next endeavor. The things you did while at Microsoft were very beneficial for the Web! 💏
