[std-proposals] Viewing mailing list in web browser

This is a problem that's been bothering me for a few years but I'm
only getting around to reporting it now.

I view this mailing list via the following web page:

    https://lists.isocpp.org/std-proposals/

When I click to view an individual post, the post is displayed
properly 9 times out of 10. Sometimes though, there are no new lines,
and here's an example:

    https://lists.isocpp.org/std-proposals/2026/04/17789.php

I've compared the original source of the email with the source of
other emails, and I think I've spotted the difference. For emails that
get displayed properly, the "Content-Transfer-Encoding" is set to
"7Bit", meaning that the hex "0d0a" is interpreted as "\r\n". However
if the "Content-Transfer-Encoding" is set to "quoted-printable", we
don't see any new lines.

Can we please get this fixed?
