I don't think that's quite fair. It seems like it works reasonably well to me. Clearly there are folks who use it and while this quoting attribution issue is confusing, there are many folks who post regularly from mail clients that cause as much confusion by poorly quoting and/or using bad html to plain text conversions, etc. > This is a mailing list.

I can't imagine how anyone uses most mail clients, web and GUI mail clients seem awful to me. But as long as the mail arrives to me in decent form, I don't much care how it got to me. :) The hyperkitty archiver has definitely improved on several long-standing issues with the previous pipermail archiver. If a message ever needs to be removed or otherwise edited in the archive, it no longer invalidates links to all the messages in the archive. And it's now much easier to link to a thread and all the messages in it instead of only to individual messages. Both of those are very nice improvements, I think. >> I'll just add this to the list of things that confuse and/or bug me.

And it might be better than finding oneself using "we" as if to account for all the voices in one's head. :) -- Todd ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Many questions are unanswerable.
