Then whoever is hosting the Archives would have to change the indexing system so the mid can be used to reopen the message, as well as TB! having to read the <list-archive> header (which not *all* mailing list software appends). There are a great number of things that can go wrong with trying to do that... like somebody changing the name of a page for example. Also how is TB! going to distinguish between a personal email, and a list email? Again with the <list-archive> header... not all lists actually put in headers, and some don't add any additional information. Plus not all list archives store the full email details... they may trim to save space etc. For example, what is the point in keeping the path information when you cannot see it on the website anyway? Just a couple of ideas ;) -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ________________________________________________________ Current Ver: 1.60q FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://bt.ritlabs.com
