Hello All, I can't help feeling a twinge of schadenfreude on hearing this. :-) Although one can impose such restrictions in Discourse, you don't have to unless you are constrained by organisational problems as here with GNU. As to my suggestion about implementing Discourse, I'd be proposing

The difference between plain and rich text emails is not related to the question of size limits, as even the most rich HTML email still has negligible size compared to emails with attachments. As for whether embedded attachments should get included in replies, in my opinion they should not,

Hard disagree on plain text emails. I didn't really have a strong opinion re the whole discussion about message boards vs. email, but IMO the world has moved on to rich text email with embedded media. I think the reliance on plain text email as the standard for this mailing list detracts
