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

Have you never heard about externals.io <http://externals.io/>?

Quoting relevant portion of previous messages and posting below them, is =
also a convention I=E2=80=99ve 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=E2=80=99t repeat).
