Thats a good case for restricting this to the smaller set of lists which will cover most submissions anyways. With a smaller set we could make the UX still work without presenting an incredibly long list. Or, the most recent emails dropdown only cover a set of common lists but a search will scan all lists? > As long as you only ever search by message-id it won't make a difference. Without any supporting evidence to back it up, my gut feeling tells me the most recent mails list is a good/simple way to lower the bar for submissions. -- Daniel Gustafsson https://vmware.com/
