In my new proposal (http://www.w3.org/2002/03/archives-improvements/ml-message), I have added a link [ replies ] to the list of replies at the bottom of the page. > > yes, you can.

(I couldn't try it because the link didn't work). Yes, I'm sure. The link has been changed to say "more about this list".

Are you really using http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/ ? I find it unusable.
