Hi,
In the archive of the public mailing lists at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public
the "Replies" and "Next in thread" functionality is limited to the
period in which the current message lives.
This is rather troublesome, since it becomes very difficult to
review a conversation that took place over an extended period of
time. (On www-style, for instance, such conversations occur
frequently.) As a result, follow-ups often get missed, seemingly
leading to WG decisions being made on the basis of incomplete
information.
Would you consider changing this behaviour?
Hi Anton,
I checked with the Systems Team, who acknowledged this and replied:
* No plans right now to add a complete unbroken thread view.
* If you click on the "In-Reply-To" link, it will point you to the
correct message, even if it is across periods; it's using the msgid-
resolver.
