Not sure how easy it is to add to the voting and get a proper layout/formatting like in this mail with fixed width though. Also not sure if combined-weights mode and the way it makes voting itself harder (at least the first time one is confronted with it) is worth to keep for the next vote. I personally have no strong opinion. This is not complaint.
