I confess that I had not found a message with that level of quoting and I agree that looks ugly to the point of becoming unreadable!

However, I reckon it is an inevitable consequence of subscribers top-posting over replies multiple times and a mail list that is set to render all messages in plain text and wrap at around 80 characters.

If you subscribed direct to the mail list rather than look at Nabble's archive you'd see the same 80 character limit and awkward wrapping.

It seems to me that you need to take this up with the maillist owners at

However, I suspect that the decision to have the developers list in plain text is deliberate, as it's often much easier to read code in a mono-pitched font. That will be less a priority on a user list and is perhaps why it does not have quite the same issue.
