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

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)

Looking back in 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.
