That would be a very ugly workaround! Besides, I currently have a local mailbox, so once Outlook grabs a message, it's no longer available on the server. > You could also use Thunderbird as a news reader only (no e-mail), and > post using the GMane portal.

I'm not really interested in switching to a newsgroup model. > If you are gonna use Thunderbird, I suggest using GMane, because > Thunderbird has no decent way to watch mail threads.

This is an interesting discussion, but I don't think I'm going to go to that much trouble just to get a thread-compatible mail client for the lists. Considering that I've been active on several mailing lists for a few years now and this has only been mentioned to me once or twice before, I don't think it's a really big problem. -- Bowie
