The fact is, the world has moved away from quoted mail with inline replies.
Top posting rules basically everywhere except hold-out old-school mailing
lists. Gmail, both on the web and _especially_ on mobile, makes it almost
impossible to do quoting and inline replies properly. I can't imagine other
big consumer email providers are much better.
Yes, this sucks for having nuanced point-by-point discussions. But I don't
think that's a tide we're really going to hold back. We should look at other
tools that fit with the way people do asynchronous online discussion today.
As Brian noted, we're trying out Discourse at
https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/
— if you're interested in trying it out, come join the conversation there.

Please no. No more Discourse. Having already stopped keeping
up with
one major project (Chef.io) because of that switch.Far easier to live
with how broken gmail is and possibly just stripping out html content,
then trying force web forum software into being useful.
