Right you are Daniel. That was very wrongly put by me. My apologies. The point was, (which could have been stated better), that syntax highlighted, fixed-width font code blocks would help greatly. As would also tags using a tagging system that was designed for programming tags, not the kind of labeling system offered by gmail and other mail programs. As would also programming oriented auto-suggest, and a very large and responsive programming community. Some of that overlaps with the PDL mailing list, and some other can be replicated, but with kludges. Stackoverflow brings all of this together in one place. In any case, Stackoverflow was also a suggestion, which will only go as far as there are takers for it. By the way, one doesn't have to convert Gmail to POP server to use a desktop mail program, as Gmail offers IMAP (which is what I use), and one can also use a custom css, as I mentioned earlier. What it lacks is the ability to recognize code blocks as such, and syntax color them based on the programming language. Oh, and thanks for your suggestion and responses.
