Maybe. I don't know if it would really work well until there was a larger
presence of PDL users in general. However, if you regularly find yourself
reading stackoverflow and somebody poses a PDL question that you can't (or
don't want to) answer, you can always send a note to this list. Personally,
I don't have the time or inclination to add Stackoverflow to my list of
regular reading.

Yes, better code display in emails would be nice. A quick google search for
Mailman and code highlighting didn't turn anything up, though, so such
features would only be available if we used a forum setting, like
Stackoverflow. (But wouldn't it be cool if we could have mailman add
highlighting to stuff inside [perl] tags?)
