[GNC] Reply convention

[Brad Morrison]

I know that GnuCash (https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo) does 
not use the current version of the Mailman mailing list software (now 3, 
not 2 - https://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/), but does anyone know if 
the various email formatting conventions 
(https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/MailingListEtiquette) can be adjusted 
by the mailing list user at the email client level?

Thanks,

Brad
