One more thing: the footer is formatted like this:

```plaintext

[Visit Topic](https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/docs-meeting-agenda-2023-04-26/81634/1) or reply to this email

```

This extraneous markup should be dropped in text mode. (Minimally, just dropping the parenthesis would be a good step. “Visit Topic [https://some.url/asdf](https://some.url/asdf) to respond” is quite readable.)
