Re: [Evolution] Proposal: to eliminate the digest option for the Evolution mailing list

Off-topic:

Something about _real issues_, one issue by it's nature affects
Evolution, too.

An issue for the iOS MUA is that it seems not to support plain text,
instead it does enforce multipart and the plain text of the multipart
is without automatic line breaks. IIRC all web interfaces, at least
Yahoo/Rocketmail, Alice/O2, Zoho and Mail.com provide at least a plain
text option. I don't know if they automatically break lines.

At least for the iPad, the quoting style could be tricky. By default
it's _not_

but instead

Replies to mailing list as well as the option to reply off-list could
cause issues, even for Linux MUAs, including Evolution.

Just the issue that affects even Linux MUAs:

If you want to reply privately using Evolution for list mails like this
one...

From: Foo via arch-general <arch-general archlinux org>
Reply-to: General Discussion about Arch Linux <arch-general archlinux org>
To: General Discussion about Arch Linux <arch-general archlinux org>
Cc: Foo <Foo bar com>

...the reply goes to the mailing list. Several mailman list do use this
"via"-option.
