+I am not sure if anyone was aware of this.

+If you are seriously making use of this mailist, you may try to use the 
+Gmane services instead. You can navigate back and forth through the 
+discussion threads very easily and it is more efficient as following the 
+development of ideas. Most email agents will also let you tag a thread 
+so that you can spot them qucker.
+
+The people who read the mailist on the other hand will often delete past 
+threads or emails and lose the development of the thread. Some arguments 
+make no sense if you delete a critical argument and a thread often time 
+will develop sub-threads.
