That should be enough. However there should be something more then just
next/previous page. When there are a LOT of postings, be it if you look by
autor, by thread or by date. Browsing by clicking 'next' several times is
not very nice.

Could be. Then there are three names that are not in order and Adrian
Schröter is there just by coincidence.
This would also mean that names with special characters would be in a
random order and harder to find. This could cause problems on lists with
many subscribers.
I also like the messages themselves with the links next to it. I personaly
would place them on the other side.
I would also use css instead of tables. If you use the ones from openSUSE,
you could create a much more consistent look. Other people could send in
their css files and with a cookie people can change the look to whatever
they like.
