I would also like to see some sort of threading feature to make reading the mail archives easier. One thing you can do for now is read the mailing lists via www.dejanews.com. (Yes, some(?) of the mailing lists are dumped to the Usenet.) Just create a search filter with groups set to *freebsd*. There is a view thread option at the top of every article returned. If you haven't used Dejanews yet, I promise you will like it. Or if ya really want to, you can ftp the archives off of ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/mailing-lists/archive/. But that would be kinda verbose. You'd get all sorts of crazy messages like this one. Happy reading, Aaron To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe questions" in the body of the message
