Well, this list swallows e-mails with sufficient frequency that when discussions seem out of context, I just go back to the archives to see why. Sure enough, the answer is usually that the relevant context was never sent, at least to me.
In this situations, when I want to reply, I just start a new thread cut and pasting from the archive. Sure, I could hack up the headers of the e-mail to make the threads work, but it would be better if the delivery just worked in the first place!
