Hi,
I haven't read the whole thread, but my take on it as a newjoiner:
Nable didn't seem to work. I got a bounce iirc. The reply/quoting format
was quite uncommon too..
As part of the process I had to join the ML anyway, so I went to the
archives to find the thread I wanted to reply to.
The "download mbox" option doesn't work, I get asked for a user/password
every time (I would've downloaded archives for the lats two months to
get continuation on most threads).
The resend option does work, but you have to wait 30 seconds between
messages, and I like to have the entire thread as it makes it easier to
follow.
Regards,
