I miss this semi-regularly -- maybe a few times a year. For some reason an email goes astray or doesn't arrive (doesn't matter if I binned it by accident or if my mailhost was down or whatever), or I want to reply to a message from before my subscription. Then I always pine for the bad old days of majordomo when I could send a request for /specific/ old mails, and lo! there they would be -- and everything archives nicely and conversations remain threaded. Getting the list archives isn't always possible -- not every list makes the mbox available (eg. SourceForge uses mailman and doesn't give mbox files to hoi polloi) -- and reply munging is tedious, and possible with all clients. Please, please, please consider this. This is my only major beef with mailman. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/283751 Title: feature request: fetch archived emails To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/283751/+subscriptions
