Here's another one of these occasions where I believed I had been posting to the lists and this one may give us a good insight to where things are going wrong. Raymond, can you tell us which client you used to email your response to this thread http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg12710.html
The client did not post a reply-to value, and so my response went back to the "from" address (in this case Raymond), from there the thread was inadvertanly private. I wonder how much of this is happening. I know in the past there have been occasions where there has been confusion over apparently missing postings to the lists. Regards, Kelvin.

Hi, I'm not sure how to solve this (technically), but a related issue I've noticed is the accidential "privatisation" of email threads. I use the google web interface for my email which seems to honor the reply to field correctly. However it looks like a couple of postings have bounced lists / missed lists. For example: http://www.mail-archive.com/tuscany-dev%40ws.apache.org/msg12845.html and http://www.mail-archive.com/tuscany-user%40ws.apache.org/msg00456.html were identical, but have become split.... And, http://www.mail-archive.com/tuscany-user%40ws.apache.org/msg00443.html went private... (accidently, I presume). However this wasn't apparent through the google interface since it links conversations by subject. So, not only would a mailing archive that honors the reply to be a good idea, but also reminding people to reply to the list when using email clients of their choice....
