Hi ,
You made some good points, but please, avoid including statements that are plainly false: it lessens
your arguments. I am specifically thinking of:

Quoting relevant portion of previous messages and posting below them, is also a convention I’ve
observed on other platforms, including github.
> ... word wrapping, ...
Really? I always thought that email clients are able to automatically wrap text in incoming
messages. At least, I never manually wrap text when writing emails, and I have never received any
complain that my emails are unreadable, If you have an issue with my reply, please complain.

Maybe *some* popular emailing clients make it difficult... Those that I have used so far (which are
decently popular) have never had problems.
Now to the point:
> What are your thoughts?
I prefer the mailing list for various reasons already mentioned by others (which I won’t repeat).
