There has is some discussion about this issue on debian-devel beginning at:https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2025/02/msg00302.html In that discussion, several people have suggested the use of format=flowed as a solution. Format=flowed is an RFC that proposes a system for hard-wrapping text but including special codes that allow a receiving MUA to unwrap them and then rewrap them to the current viewport.
I feel like a bit of a broken record these days in Debian tbh, I feel like I was just saying this type of thing recently:
1) Thank you for this thread, and cjwatson in particular for some actionable advice on using f=f.
2) I think I agree on the substance here a lot!3) There is a delegate responsible for this. I really really really wish we had engaged with the people on the hook for this before we go to the GR lever. I didn't even see listmaster asked?
While I agree with f=f as a matter of personal opinion, if this GR gets enough seconds, I plan to suggest another GR option (given enough seconds of course) to the effect of 'Affirm that the project has confidence in the listmaster's ability to manage Debian lists (including the CoC)'
We have a delgate here. While I think f=f and no longer hard wrapping is great, I really _really_ wish we would involve the prople we put our trust in as a project before going to a whole project vote to make a decision none of us have to live with.
Like, for the most part, we're all spending our free time to make the world a better place, can we like, talk?
