You are missing the point of internet mailing lists, which is that many, 
many, more people read them than are involved in the initial post or 
reply threads.  The formatting should cater to these folks who may not 
be particularly interested until some late point in the conversation - 
or may run across an isolated message from a search and need to be able 
to follow it.
