Here's how it works: You do the research yourself, then you present your
case where I have previously stated.  My participation is not required.
There are others who know about this and anyone who does reads the
overseers mailing list.

I do not want to be involved in doing this.  I do not have the right to
unilaterally change the mail archiving software on sourceware.org.  I am
not going to be your champion for this policy change for this site.

If I am the only one with the power, then I am the one who can tell you
that further discussion will have no practical effect.  You are welcome
to continue to expound on the virtues of "format=flowed" (even if it is
off-topic here).  When you do so, however, it will be merely a
theoretical exercise since there will be no action taken here.
