Commenting on a couple of your comments....

> no dull screen redraw

That's because it uses frames -- which are a terrible idea for a web 
interface.

One random reference for the problems with frames:

That's part of the reason why it **needs** some Javascript to work. Again, 
not a great idea as something like 15% of people (and 100% of search engines) 
don't browse with Javascript enabled.

So overall, GMANE's interface is not one I'd **recommend** for general use. 
Of course, it's fine for the people it works for.

I don't even see that on my browser....Possibly it's a feature that works 
only on some browsers, or my browser of choice is tripping up on one of the HTML 
errors.

Either way, it's a good point......There was no way at REBOL.org to see where 
you are in a thread if you are reading message-by-message.

I've fixed that. Sorry, it's not a colored bar. It's a navigation bar, at the 
bottom of the message, that is consistent with the other nav-bars used on 
REBOL.org, eg:
