It http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-media-capture/2014Dec/0012 seems the messages are rather broken, the subject has two spaces after the tag instead of one, HTML escapes in plaintext, they are not properly wrapped, insufficient formatting, e.g. no white space to visually sepa- rate the overlong addresses from possibly useful text, and for responses in discussion threads the messages do not even quote relevant context. I do not really see utility in reading nothing but "LGTM" without context three times in a row, like http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-media-capture/2014Dec/0021 http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-media-capture/2014Dec/0022 http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-media-capture/2014Dec/0023 It seems to me, if these mails are not at all like regular discussion mails, they should not be mixed with them as if they were. Archival and keeping people up to date over the mailing list could still be done by stuffing all the notifications into regular single-mail digests. Those could even be `multipart/digest` mails, so clients can automatically un- fold them into the regular mailing list view if people would like that. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de D-10243 Berlin · PGP Pub.
