 your complete typewriter is 1 2/3 orders of
 magnitude too small :p

i didn't say it's complete, but give an idea of a much larger keyboard.

 Unless that green handle is for replacing the top board and you have 43
 other such boards on the side.

given that chinese has much more than 3000 characters there probably is
something like that.

although, actually, the real solution is more likely to be this:

 Might as well be impossible.  How do you stop a flamewar that was
 started to show that trying to stop a flamewar is a good way to ignite
 it?  :)

maybe by using the same technology that started it and apply the
motivation for people to do the opposite of what is asked from them. 

so, to stop a flamewar they need to be told to continue it:

  yes! what a wonderful flame, nice and warm, give me more please!

then this could turn into the s/m of flaming:

masochist:
  flame me, please!
sadist:
  no!

 You CC-ed me even though it's explicitly against list policy! I should
 start an expultions proceedure against you!

you get what you deserve if you can't even configure your mailcient
right. mutt supports a Mail-FollowUp-To: header, which tells recipients
how you want your replies.

wouter uses mutt too, and you would not have received a CC from him had
you set that header. (or from me now, for that matter)

don't hide behind the list policy it.  is your responsibility to tell
everyone what your preference is.  there are a number of people who
require CCs to communicate with them over lists regardless of list
policy (most notably joey)

you can't expect everyone else to keep track of your preference. we
would end up with a situation where everyone needs to keep track of
everyone elses preference, so it makes more sense to turn the thing
around and make everyone responsible for their own preference and for
telling others about that.

for those whose mailreaders do not support Mail-FollowUp-To: file a bug
with upstream, and get them to fix that (or fix it yourself)

greetings, martin.
ps: i hope the tone matches the discussion and apologize if you perceive
this as off topic  ;-)

actually, it's from many peoples favourite d. j. bernstein

 Mail-FollowUp-To: might work in mutt or outlook

it works on outlook? that would be surprising.

 but is no standard. use reply-to:!!!1

then lets make it a standard.
reply-to breaks to many things,

greetings, martin.
ps: fortunately mutt can be told to ignore reply-to that points to lists.

 If you're using vim for your mail (and the filetype is set to mail

how do i tell mutt to set the filetype to mail?

 you can select a block of text in visual mode and do a gq, and it will
 re-wrap the text, automatically inserting/removing those
  's where appropriate

i do gq} usually.

that is much faster then visual mode, especially if the paragraph is
long, or you have lots of them. it only does not recognize an empty line
