For quite some time I have not liked the way the archives are displayed on
a mobile device. This wasn't a concern when Phys-L started in 1996 and a
small concern when I took over the administration of the list in 2006.
However, here we are in 2017 (almost 2018!) and the use of mobile devices
is ubiquitous. So, I've modify the code that generates the archives from
the original email mailboxes to flow better on smaller screens and also
highlight quoted text more explicitly (think text from previous posts
copied into a reply message). I've also cleaned up the underlying HTML to
make it valid and proper. At this point I'm looking for feedback on the
display of the archives on smaller screens.
If you care to take a look, the "Beta" version of the updated archives may
be found at the following URL.
This archive is not being updated in real-time when a post comes into the
system, like the official archives, but should be "good enough" to provide
feedback if you wish.
