Yes, it's in that area of the settings. Changing it to "mailing list
mode" sends one email per response, they are threaded and you can
just reply to them in email to reply.
They are HTML though. A battle I gave up on years ago.

The deck's being stacked somewhat by asking a mailing list what they
think of something that's not a mailing list, but I thought it might
be interesting to see how many genuinely do prefer it even if it
comes out as a minority.
There really are people who don't get along with email, find it
outmoded and awkward etc. But maybe not enough of them to pay
attention to (yet).
Cheers,
Andy
