Mailman keeps an archive of all email sent to the python
mailing list, and the individual messages have unique links.

Usually, referring to a discussion by the subject of the
email messages and some sort of date range is enough for
someone to find the relevant discussions in the archive.

I agree that it's not painless.

After a while, I end up with my own "archive" in my email
client (or in my email server), and I can reply to old
messages as needed.  This is also not painless.
