Hmm, I didn't consider that. I *never* read the emails, instead using the email notifications as jumping-off points to go into the forum. I always thought it strange that people refer to posts as 'mails'.
But, surely, plain text for code is *terrible*. Wrong or no indentation, no syntax highlighting, no font contrast between code and text? Or are you able to achieve some of those with your Emacs setup?
