Hmmm. I'm not sure that the debate is which is the most accessible.
I'm more on the side of not trying to legislate where people have
conversations, so long as it "gets back to the list." JIRA fits this criteria
in spades.
Whether those conversations have the words "bq." before blockquote or "{code}"
before a code example (the prior two examples being the case of JIRA) or
whether someone sees ">>" to indicate blockquote or "----code---" or some other
annotation (e.g., the prior two examples being the case of some mail client) is
really irrelevant IMHO.
I likened the debate to being which OS is best, which IDE is best, etc.,
because the truth of the matter is: none of them are, and there's more than one
way to skin a cat.
Cheers,
Chris
