Hi Ben,

(In English, it's “mailing lists”, two words not one.)
Fixed that.
Perhaps make the point that if your mail client doesn't *have* a “reply to list” operation, it's best to pressure the vendor to add this standard feature and/or switch to one that does have it. But that might be too much for this guide.
I agree that people should do so. But as you said it is too much to include that in the guide.
- *General remark* The better you structure an e-mail and the better you present the content — the higher is the chance that people will read your e-mail.
I would prefer this to be phrased to encourage thinking about the message from the reader's point of view. A sentiment like “make your message easy for someone else to read so that more people will easily read it”, phrased in your own words.
You are right that phrased better. Do you think https://wiki.fsfe.org/Fellows/mk/EmailGuide is fine?
Best wishes, Matthias
