Subject: [PATCH] www: stop generating /$MESSAGE_ID/f/ links
Date: Wed, 13 Apr 2016 03:04:11 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160413030411.1375-1-e@80x24.org> (raw)

Quote-folding can be detrimental as it fails to hide the
real problem of over-quoting.

Over-quoting wastes bandwidth and space for all readers, not
just WWW readers of the public-inbox.  So hopefully removing
quote-folding support from the WWW interface can shame those
repliers into quoting only relevant portions of what they reply
to.
