Jeff, Thanks very much for the reply--it's great news that this is now covered by a spec (RFC 5064, btw ;-) . I started skimming through that--I guess the key thing afaic is the ability to specify the exact location in the archive when the list server first issues the post, which, from what I understand, it can do.
BTW, I don't really "run" any mail lists (well, except one on yahoo), so I don't personally use any list server software, but I will start spreading the word that this spec exists and try to get some list servers interested in using it.
