Well, when the message doesn't adapt to the medium, it's of limited
utility to argue the problem is the medium. You can argue as long as
you want, just don't expect it to change ;)
It seems like an easy resolution to this would be to just point people
at the wiki. So instead of sending variously-formatted emails that
contain the whole thing, just "Hey, we've released a new report! It's
on the wiki at [URL] and contains, amongst other things, [2-3 really
cool/interesting things]. Hope you enjoy!"
That way people can get the information from the nicely-formatted
source without simultaneously being lured by a not-as-nicely formatted
source.

The wiki view is vastly better than the email body. My
perception is that
this summary is not "What developer relations has been doing", but rather
"if you're a developer here's stuff that might interest you". With
that
filter, it made much more sense.

Looks like we identified the root problem then.
