I always use gmane, via:
The problem with this is that when searching through gmane, and selecting a single message with a hit, one gets only to see that message without its context thread. At least I could not find out a way to switch from the found message to the thread in which it occurred.
The search facility on www.mail-archive.com is much nicer in that respect, but as mentioned, as of yesterday seems to have forgotten about all messages prior to November 2007, and from 2008.
Too bad...
Ciao, Janis.
I removed haskell@haskell from the recipients.
It is possible to get to the thread-view of a message from just the bare message page. For example, if I turn up http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.cafe/8046 in a google search, which takes me to the article without context, I then click on the linked subject of the message, which redirects me to http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.cafe/8044/focus=8046, which is the threaded view. It still doesn't seem to allow you to get to other threads before and after the given thread, but at least you can view the entire thread of the message you found.
It's definitely not very intuitive.
And the funny thing is that I tried just that yesterday, to no avail. Now I found that it does work for haskell.cafe, but not for haskell.general, which I tried yesterday. Strange. (The problem on mail-archive affects both lists haskell-cafe and haskell proper.) Thanks for the solution at least for haskell-cafe!
