I find myself referencing mails from the freebsd mailing lists quite frequently, e.g. referencing a related thread/mail. To do this, I check the date of the e-mail and manually dig the permanent link out of the archives. What I'd really love to see if the mailing list software automatically added a signature like this to each mail it distributes: -- Archived under: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?4EA81B90.60501 -- A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting. Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail?
