Glenn,
      Well one thing I have noticed is that if you aren't subscribed
to a particular debian mailing list but see a message in the web based
archives you want to respond to, there doesn't appear to be a field
displayed telling you what to reference. I see References listed in
the message display...say for...

http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2003/debian-devel-200301/msg01059.html

but they all seem only related to the references for that email that
had been sent and not what one should be referencing in a reply.
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding this stuff but I would think there should be
a reference number shown that can be used to reply to the message you
are viewing so you end up with your message appropriately placed in the
thread. I've since subscribed to this list again but there are other 
lists that one might occasionally want to send a message to after reading
the web based archives and it isn't clear how one gets that referenced
correctly.
                             Jack
