I should be able to click on a link on that page, enter my email address (perhaps through some validation dance, or subject to a request governor) and then the message -- as it was originally copied to the list membership -- would show up in my inbox, exactly as if I were a list member at the time. Now I can hit 'reply' and inject myself seamlessly into that 2 year old thread.As long as the mailing list name/address hasn't migrated/changed in the interim...
Good point.
...perhaps the original message munged to ensure current accuracy of the to/cc/reply-to fields?
Not sure I understand; can you elaborate? -Barry
