(you're talking about mailing lists, not specific email addresses, so
the @ is inappropriate). The .ORG should probably not be capitalized,

A slight rewrite and reorganization from most common to less common:

(Is PostScript really something that should be mentioned here? It has
more interchange issues than either of the others. I'm also unsure
whether "open source" is a good description of these formats, but can't
think of anything better at the moment.)
