And of course, any such "nl2br" equivalent will do exactly the same as wrapping with P tags -- with everything left aligned.

I'm not sure that we couldn't do better nowadays with libraries that will handle the same DOM that browsers do, but it certainly wasn't possible in 1994. And even with those libraries it would require a complete rearchitecture of the archiver.

I did some tests with Sympa (v6.2.88) which uses MHonArc (v2.6.19): it does a pretty good job of rendering archived HTML messages with things like lists, code, etc -- and eliminating the need for the horizontal scrolling.
That got me Googling for How-to's on integrating MHonArc with Mailman. There's a fair bit of conversation around this from days long ago, and a patch for using MHonArc written by Mark S. back in 2014.
Before I go down this rabbit hole: was there any particular reason (back in the day) that Pipermail was favoured (and implemented) over MHonArc.
