Strikethrough, revision marks and the one hour period of grace

Three or four aspects to this, I'd like to bounce ideas off you (and other readers) …

1. A poster to a developer list (we find this example of a message that differs from a probable edition in Nabble) should have observed the clear yellow banner, during edition, forewarning that changes will not be sent to the list.

— Easier said than done, I recall making many such mistakes when I was new to Nabble; it took me some time to 'get' the ways in which Nabble and SMTP-oriented mailing lists interact with each other.

2. I quite like a period of grace. It's often normal to edit, post submission, for example <http://n2.nabble.com/Receiving-spam-through-Nabble-tp2525010p2536585.html> edited by me to refer to a subsequent spin-off topic.

3. I often make mistakes, and wish to highlight (not hide) those mistakes after the event, so that if a message is found by some other reader and treated as a point of reference, the reader does not follow my mistake.

— I'd like an easier way to strike through text in Nabble; this was originally amongst my top five wishes but it's effectively demoted to #7 (off the radar) by a couple of things.

— still, for any correction that should be pushed to readers, I would send a reply (drawing attention to the correction).

Thoughts?

Graham
