Hi Andreas - very good problem report, thanks.
I have just cleaned up the archive links at http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Mailing_lists a bit. I added the ever-excellent gmane and an overview of all archives.
Ok, this list was crushing my OS X Mail program (not the coldest beer in the fridge) so I went to a hybrid approach of reading on gmane, and using NetNewsWire to track the news feed from gmane. As a result, I don't have original mail messages to reply to. I nevertheless want to use my Mail program to originate posts, in order to cc: interested parties directly as appears to be the custom, and in hopes that at least some recipients won't have xs@(x,xt) in Haskell source code rewritten as xs <at> (x,xt). When I send a message "Re: thread" it appears to break the thread, showing up as a singleton in gmane's thread list. It appears that I am caught between a rock and a hard place.
