Are you attempting to claim that in a general discussion about email accross the internet only mutt-users etiquette can be discussed on the mutt mailing list? Mutt is not only used to read the mutt-users mailing list-- that's the error in your judgement. Mutt can be used to participate on a microsoft-fans mailing list, if one desires. > But, please, if you think there's a need, feel free to start another > mailing list for Mutt users that explicitly states a different > convention for line length. I'm sure there will be massive uptake. If you think there's a need to restrict the Mutt tool to only accommodate participation on mutt-users, your work is cut out for making that convincing.
