It's all about the sender. The list can't do anything about it.

I know that GnuCash (https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo) does
not use the current version of the Mailman mailing list software (now 3,
not 2 - https://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/), but does anyone know if
the various email formatting conventions
(https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/MailingListEtiquette) can be adjusted
by the mailing list user at the email client level?

Thanks,

Brad

Is there really a convention for replies?
Indeed there is:

Thanks for the link; it isn't specific to GnuCash, but that's okay.

However, it does seem outdated - limiting a line to 72 characters when
most
browsers and email clients are capable of doing line wrap?

Yes, but eyes aren't!  Something around 80 characters (i.e. 72 plus a
bit) is the best line length for our eyes to read.


And plain text only?

What else are you going to do?  Anything more is likely to be
differently interpreted by different users' software so the result you
intend is likely to be lost on many users.  There are standard ways of
indicating emphasis and such using just plain text.


This doesn't appear to be plain text... perhaps I'm associating plain text
with fixed-width fonts.
But if this works, that's fine.

Regarding line length, I thought you could set your browser or email client
to wrap at whatever length one wishes.
