I meant it's more difficult to respond "properly" in interleaved style (like I am now, despite mobile) from the devices I'm on 95% of my list reading time. Unless I've crafted something gorgeous I still tend to feel a reservation to share. > > Email is almost by design static and unable to change. Text.

Sure sure, but text is messy. Every message looks half-broken due to forced formatting (mixed HTML/plaintext and massive fluctuations in typography), wrapping (in portrait mode almost every message is very jagged due to inserted newlines by some MUA) and folding (when people switch quote styles proper folding by my MUA is hard, only top posting is free of this). I'm not sure X is better than straight email per se, but I am interested in moving the status quo forward and would try alternatives.
