Hmmm... so I'd assume that maybe mailman3 is rendering RST? If it is, then
the following should be formatted as code::
    >>> 2 ** 200
    1606938044258990275541962092341162602522202993782792835301376
    >>>

On the other hand, maybe it's markdown? Then this should be a code block:
```
    >>> 2 ** 200
    1606938044258990275541962092341162602522202993782792835301376
    >>>
```

Love an experiment... (and apologies everyone for the formatting test)

Cheers,
Naomi
