It does not look relevant for our mailing lists, though.
I am not an expert on format=flowed, so I can’t vouch for the following myself, but I thought it was interesting that the article above linked to the following: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/MailingListEtiquette#Thunderbird Which has instructions for disabling format=flowed, saying it caused problems. I’m not sure how much OpenStack represents general consensus for what works best on mailing lists, but it is at least one data point. -- Soren Stoutner so...@debian.org
