Ah, that could be it. I thought I'd found them in the Subject: thread
archive at the same time they weren't in the other, but maybe my memory is
faulty.

Which is how I discovered those messages which weren't (yet) in the
archive; I took the URL for the previous message, edited it to point to
the next message, and discovered the 'missing' ones. (Apparently the
list software makes messages available via the Web interface before
they've been approved and added to the archive.)

When I posted the bit about the 360 + car photo the other day, I had a subject
line ready to go and I thought I had pasted it into the Subject, but could have
pasted into the wrong field before I hit the Submit. We've all done this I'm 
sure.

It soon bounced back to me from the cctalk list manager but I was a little 
surprised
it had made it to the list with a (no subject). Now the interesting thing is, my
message is available in the June archive, but Lawrence's followup with the
Re: (no subject) title wasn't processed by the list and as such there is no 
clickable
link to his reply there, only his name:

List admin:

Please note also that the reply to the message headed "No subject" (which
Noel mentioned) actually seems to have a blank subject, as a result of
which it doesn't seem to be possible to even view it (since there's no link
to click)!  See "Next message:" at the bottom of
http://www.classiccmp.org/pipermail/cctalk/2019-June/048087.html.

This is a function of the way the two lists work, I think. The posts you
mentioned were sent to cctech. As I understand it, that list is moderated
to ensure it stays on topic. After they've been approved, they will make it
onto cctalk as well. This causes a delay, and sometimes posts don't make it
into the archive list until they are hours old. You'll notice these posts
are now in both archives. The post with no subject had nothing to do with
it, that's just a red herring. This is the behavior of the mailing list for
as long as I remember, though I've only been on here a few years.

I'm not sure what happened, but I note the next post had no Subject: line,
and I'm wondering if that caused it. So best to make sure your posts have
Subject: lines.
