mailing list message formatting

Aiee! Every time I send a message to this list, I format it carefully in
emacs, with bullet lists and inset chunks of text marking quoted excerpts
from other messages... and the mailing-list managers / web interface
completely mangles all this, so that when I look at the messages in the
archive with a url like

    http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu/maillists/codalist/codalist-2007/8440.html

it's quite hard to read. Then I feel bad for inflicting difficult-to-parse
text upon the members of the coda list.

Is there anywhere I can read what the formatting & rendering rules are for
these messages, so I can live in harmony with them?
