Yes this battle has been fought before. But this is still a pain in the ass.
Whilst the list is unmoderated, surely someone at MySQL has the capacity to make a change to the server configuration of whatever hosts the list? How many times has someone had their problem solved by someone who accidentally emailed them direct, rather than via the list. So the solution was never seen by anyone else and never made the archives. Hence the same question gets asked again... and again... I know I've accidentally emailed suggestions to people directly a number of times because of this (I, like many, many others pragmatically use MS outlook), and invariably the only reason I even find this out is when the person thanks me directly rather than through the list. Come on, let's move into the nineties and sort this out.
