Hi Zack,

Sounds like a great idea and straightforward to do. If I can find some
time I think I'll implement it. (It could be a while; things are
pretty hectic; you are welcome to send in a patch.) In the meantime
I'm going to CC: this reply to the discussion list, so I don't lose
it.

Hi,

Here's my suggestion: instead of those little black dots in front of
each mailing list, why not have a color-coded symbol indicating if
there is new mail in the archive. A yellow dot could indicate that new
mail has come into that mailing list in the last 24 hours, while a red
dot could indicate that new mail has come in in the last week. Black
dots could mean no new messages for over a week.

The reason for this is that a lot of the lists are low traffic, and it
would be really fantastic to just be able to look at your page as a
whole and know which of those links to follow. Very time saving for
those of us who have to keep up with a number of those lists.

Be well,

Zack
