Thanks, good point.

(I had already dropped /postmaster/ from the list of recipients.)

Here's the hidden anchor: 
<https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/eresources/#eresources-charters> 
(thanks to Display #Anchors

I, too, want accessibility.

Prevention of images, /troublesome/ narrowness through wrapping 
<https://docs.freebsd.org/en/articles/mailing-list-faq/#_what_is_considered_proper_etiquette_when_posting_to_the_mailing_lists>, 
and /supposed/ stripping of HTML 
<https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/eresources/#eresources-mailfiltering> 
are three of the top five reasons for me *not engaging* with lists.

Here's the thing: when systems, or practices, discourage me from 
engaging, then there's:

  * nothing to access /
    /
