OP asked about public opensource mailing lists where subs
have already seen the prior mail flow, and with readily importable,
link browseable, searchable archives, for those who didn't.

Not about [private] corpo convos which, whatever their random
policies are, obviously get wrecked by perpetuators there too :)

> There are no included snippets only complete messages

Which even then still do not read linearly in space or time over the page,
the readers eyeballs and brain must jump and locate in reverse at every
inlined "complete message" or snippet break, reassemble, maintain
extra backbuffers and watchpoints for, etc. It's unnatural and abusive.
More abusive than "omg, scrolling [1]"?... well, that's all moot here
because this isn't a "corporate environment"... but perhaps yes ;)

[1] Text of which some newfangled MUA's now auto-collapse into
clickey-expandable blobs... often a horror perpetuating feature in itself
via hiding the evidence as ok, instead of exposing it for correction.
