I post occasionally to the mplayer forum, which is archived at: http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-users/
All posts there are done by e-mail. When I (or a responder) posts, it shows up there pretty fast. Much later, I get a digest of the last few posts by e-mail. I prefer to use sendmail. When I post a reply (here for example), I preserve threading as follows. I construct the message with mailto, manually add the References, and send it off with sendmail. With the mplayer forum, there's a problem. If I wait for the digest that arrives by e-mail, I can see the Message-ID of the last post and add it under References to preserve threading. However, I see no way to find the Message-ID at the online archive. So I can either wait a long time, or I can screw up the threading. Clearly other posters there have figured this out. How do they (or their mail programs) get a hold of the Message-IDs? (I would ask them, but they're not thrilled with posts that aren't directly about mplayer.)
