This is perhaps the one rule that I am absolutely incapable of following, for I do not have `set ruler` in my VIM config! I'm sure that there is an implicit rule against very bad top-posting, which I've been called out on. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posting_style Personally, I don't mind either way, however, if there is an actual rule to be devised from this, it would be to trim some of your quoted material, so that you don't end up being sentenced by the email high guard. :-) As you can see, I usually place two spaces at the start of each paragraph, as well. Although that is a stylistic choice which isn't enforced in any way, shape, or form. On pure text emails, I believe it is important to issue a line break before you reach 81 columns. This is so that those people who still use archaic VT100 terminals, can read your email, without it looking funny. Although there are other reasons too, monospace text just looks better, if you have a column length <81. Effective communication on the mailing list, in my opinion, mostly entails of what's necessary for any effective communication at all. Clear, terse sentences may come to mind, with a high level of directness. I believe that where you choose to start a new paragraph, is also important. There are other various stylistic word choices, which may help for a communicator to be more precise.
