Call me a luddite, but developers work in plain text for good reason, and that should include email. We'd all be better off if HTML email had never been invented.

> The [{{tagletpath}} option|https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-javadoc-plugin/aggregate-mojo.html#tagletpath] seems to be completely ignored, despite being documented. It looks as if this never worked before. It is also utterly untested. There is an old bug MJAVADOC-231, but whatever that was meant to fix, it seems to be unrelated to this one. If I have a local JAR unavailable on Maven Central sitting in a libraries folder, I cannot use it in any other way than to contrive to put a copy into my local Maven repository and use {{tagletArtifact}} instead of {{tagletpath}}.
> I noticed this, when trying to help someone asking a question on the [Maven users mailing list|https://lists.apache.org/thread/zv25z3hx9gbmbt6wwhby6cy0t5lr542l]. In his [sample repository|https://github.com/jkesselm/xalan-java-mvn], an effort to convert the Xalan Ant Build to Maven, the commit to check out is is [6daf2890|https://github.com/jkesselm/xalan-java-mvn/tree/6daf2890bc03b13cd741b963d33897d61dcf4e5f]. Just run {{mvn -DskipTests=true site}}.
