I don't think this is a good idea. No email client is going torecognise text/gemini (famous last words!) which means for most people(okay, I don't have hard data, but I'm *assuming* most people aren'treading the list on a mobile device) this will just result in a muchreduced user experience. Once rawtext.club is back up you should at least be able to follow thediscussion (read-only) via text/gemini! > P.S. I've been subscribed for a while, but I can't find the answer by searching the mailing list messages I've received: what happened to block quote syntax in text/gemini? I think the person/people who was/were really pushing hard for this werereally invested in a relatively complicated form of it which wasinfinitely nestable, so it could be used to represent e.g. deep commentthreads, and I wasn't super keen on that idea. As a purely optional line-type with no special semantics, acting just asa styling hint, the way unordered item lists are currently implemented,I think I'm actually fairly unopposed to adding this. Of course it would, like everything else, be strictly line-based, soquoting multi-paragraph content might not format the way peopleexpect... Cheers,Solderpunk
