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.
Completely agree - and discourse is a great solution. It allows for
RSS feeds and
email notifications = participation is a click away. Your email inbox
is no longer cluttered
with hard to follow threads, nor do you have to worry about using
space to archive conversations which
are important to you... just use the bookmark feature.
