Most graphical mail clients don't display ascii_art correctly. |

Personally, I don't care if people occasionally add a |
| 21 |
screenshot/drawing/whatever as attachment to emails if they are necessary to |
| 22 |
clarify the question and/or answer. |

Personally: JPEG or similar, high compression (not too much as to loose |

detail) and cropped to the minimal required. |

I don't know if anything already exists. |

|
| 44 |
However, if it is highly specific, a wiki-page or similar might be an option |
| 45 |
where interested parties collaborate with an occasional posting to the mailing |
