Re: mailing-lists in semantic-land

I am not sure exactly how the thread by Carmen got going, or where it appeared from, but

Note that on the w3c mail archives there are X-Archived-At headers with URLs for each mail.
I don't understand why not every mailing list does that, as it is so clearly an excellent idea.
