The idea of implementing wikilinks on the mailing lists has no doubt been proposed before. They are just too useful and necessary, and will greatly increase off-wiki-to-wiki integration. I understand that mailing lists are generally plaintext, and that href links will either show as links or else print as rough HTML code. For the archives at least, display of [[Main Page]] and [[en:Main Page]] should very well go to the site. For readers of HTML posts, conversion to href links should not be an issue. Plaintext readers will see a little HTML but that shouldn't be a big deal, and their browser will probably linkify the explicit link for them anyway. -Steven
This is inline with general talk about replacing certain mailings lists with forums. There are no doubt other bugs and comments related to this, but ostensibly these forums would allow for email postings as well as logged-in postings (coordinate email addy with account name via account email), multi-dimensional modes for thread sorting, a certain degree of thread and post editability, and maybe even a wiki mode for a collaborative "sticky." Yeah, something like Waves, maybe, but cut down to sensibility. -Stevertigo
This is something that should be handled client-side. (This is something that would probably be difficult to do and it wouldn't be good to impose this on people who don't want it.) I'm sure you can figure out some script to make this work with your local client.
