looks nice ;-)
(I guess you'll make / nicer, too ;-)

I think: yes.
Currently, I see the newest messages on the first page and a link "next
page". Imagine what happens if you want to see the list of messages
sent some monts ago - "click click click click ..." ;-)
(You also can't cache the indexes on the server because they change with
every new message.)
Additionally, the URL of the message list containing a specific thread
will change all over the time because the newest one is numbered "1",
the next "2" etc. - that's not a good thing.
Additionally, I don't like the restriction to 100 mails per page -
people will loose much time by clicking "next".
Maybe for the low-traffic lists (*-announce) you don't need to separate
the months, but if this would add more work, monthly lists aren't a
problem ;-)
Another idea would be to have only the first mail of a thread displayed
("thread start" view) - but I guess this isn't that easy ;-)
Some thoughts and possible enhancements when displaying a single
message:
- can you show the Message-ID? It's very useful for searching for a
specific mail ;-)
- can you highlight the current mail in the "This thread" column?
- is quote highlighting possible?
- completely hiding mail adresses may be too hard. Also, hiding
everything that looks like a mail adress isn't a good idea.
For example, a prompt like [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/test> doesn't need to be
encrypted ;-)
Unfortunately, in some cases the "xxx wrote" contains the mail adress,
so not encrypting mail adresses at all isn't a good solution, too.

Christian Boltz

Irgendwo müssen doch all die Beschwörungsformeln hin, die man als
MCSE auswendig lernen muß. Ein schwammförmiges Gehirn scheint mir
dafür durchaus geeignet ...
