Yes, I know. The separation I suggested (lists.d.o, lists.alioth.d.o and bugs.d.o) could be necessary because of scalability issues, not only in the server, but also in the clients: - lists.debian.org has 270 lists - bugs.debian.org is quickly approaching 800000 bugs - alioth.debian.org hosts 1042 different projects (which may ar may not have one or more lists (there are 124 lists starting with debian- and another 660 lists starting with pkg-). Besides that you also have to consider some kind of message expiration and/or archiving, because even mutt takes a while to access my 'All Mail' folder on Gmail (35000+ messages). Hmm, your proposal could be a great way of reading the archives, especially when combined with something like notmuch for searching :) Kind regards, Andrei -- http://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser Offtopic discussions among Debian users and developers: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic http://nuvreauspam.ro/gpg-transition.txt
