Welcome to the list! :-)

It does not automatically do that, so the preferred way is to insert
line breaks.  Many mail clients handle wrapped lines well, however, so
if breaking lines bothers you a lot, it probably does not matter much
to keep long lines.

No.  That's HTML, which does not work on the list.  So for writing <

It used to be broken so you had to explicitly set the reply-to to the
conlang list before posting, but I suppose it was repaired so that it
is possible to switch off the reply-to header, which is the preferred
setting for this list (unless, of course, you want people to reply to
you personally).

Could some knowing GMail user confirm that the reply-to issue is
solved?  I'd then change the welcome message accordingly.

Mr Veoler, enjoy the list!
