Email is not the complement of coherent exposition. It's simply not the right tool for that job. Choose another tool. GDrive is OK. I'm sure Office 365 or Teams is fine. I used Zoho for awhile. I'd prefer GitHub or Gitlab, personally. But it's probably not obvious how to use it for that type of job. But part of what you (seem to) respond to is the crazy nonsense splatter. And those tools are NOT appropriate for that. An email forum IS appropriate for that. But then you are working to defeat your own purpose. I have no choice but to conclude that you are simply confused about your purpose. 8^D Of course, if I listen more empathetically, what I think you're looking for is a kitchen sink tool KIT that has both tools for splatter (like this email forum) and tools for exposition (like collaborative authorship). And, to the best of my knowledge, such tools are all persnickety. And the only way you'll get a collection of people to use a persnickety set of tools is if you're their boss ... you pay them to do it ... and you fire them if they don't. Maybe you could extract $20k from your retirement fund and dole it out to us, predicated on our meeting some prescribed objectives? >8^D (Hey! Before you accuse me of trying to steal money from elderly suckers ... at least I'm not selling "better flight simulators" or hydroxychloroquine.)
