With links to external file sharing services, the mbox archives no
longer contain the complete message and it is a given that internet file
sharing sites are impermanent, so there is potential here to lose
information, and people tell me the archive is important to them.

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

Hard disagree on rich text :-)
Rich text and other kinds of formatting issues all occur when there is
no formatting standard required to be met. Having everyone use
exactly the same formatting rules would be overly burdensome. Getting
everyone to agree to a set of formatting rules would be
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
Hi Jean,
I think Robin is talking about embedded images that are quoted on reply,
resulting in the same attachment being sent back and forth over and over
again.
Of course this does not matter when you send plain text emails, which should
be the sensible choice ...
