Good point. How about something that can be shoved into a search
query from the message itself, something like:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/palm-dev-forum/messagesearch?query=Re%3A%20Lyris%20ideas%3F%20%28was%20Re%3A%20where%20I%20can%20download%20rom%20image%20%3F%29
(ugly url, but you get the idea, shove the subject or relevant info
enough to make a search possible from the web interface)

See above, how about making a URI reference relevant info in the kb
or egroups/escribe?

They have a search field? I didn't see one. Hrm..

Funny, the link above points to exactly one message, the previous
one I posted on this thread. When you receive this, it may point to two, now
that this message itself will match as well.
