Hmmm... so I'd assume that maybe mailman3 is rendering RST? If it is, then the following should be formatted as code:: >>> 2 ** 200 1606938044258990275541962092341162602522202993782792835301376 >>> On the other hand, maybe it's markdown? Then this should be a code block: ``` >>> 2 ** 200 1606938044258990275541962092341162602522202993782792835301376 >>> ``` Love an experiment... (and apologies everyone for the formatting test) Cheers, Naomi On Thu, 6 Feb 2020 at 20:18, kirby urner <kirby.urner@gmail.com> wrote:

The mailman 3 archive is rendering Python code rather poorly right?
I archive more of my experience in this recent Youtube:
(recaps some recent threads, takes up the display of Python code through the archive)

The rendering I get turns the double-star of Python exponentiation into some kind of boldfacing, like we're in a wiki or using markdown or something.
The attachment shows the original content, but requires a download to see. Is there a button-click way to redisplay / re-render a post in original format?
Nor is my Python source code showing up with indenting. Do I need to format in some new wiki way?
What default settings do we have, to restore Python-friendliness, I wonder.
