There's still the issue with line wrapping. Due to the small screens of mobile phones and unwillingness to change the orientation of the phones, we suffer from the dispute of wrapping lines at around 70 or 80 chars vs endless lines. Another issue is caused by non-fixed-width fonts. Too funny that some people tend to use endless lines for plain text and wrapping for code. In the end FLOSS mailing lists are for technical requests, so subscribers should get used to what is appropriate for this kind of conversation and they should use the appropriate tools and settings to participate. Experienced users can only help, if they have time to do so, which means the mails should be easy to read for those providing help, since they are helping on a voluntary basis, they aren't paid support.
