As I see it from here, part of the problem is old and has
its source in splitting the archives into two: first Glasgow
and Yale, and now Glasgow and Microsoft. Page www.haskell.org
points only to Glasgow archive and there one can find only
those messages that had been posted to Glasgow address.
I already wrote about it some time ago, before recent changes
took place, but no one seemed to care about it. But it is
frustrating to see only half of a discussion when either mailing
list fails to deliver some messages or one's own mailer fails to
receive them.
