I've just read this again, after it was pointed out to me on IRC. That
was not quite what I meant to say. (A retraction! I should be a
politician!) I read in Peter's email what I wanted to read, rather than
what he had actually written.
I do not believe there's anyone who does not want any web archives of
the lists; no one has seriously suggested that to me. On the other hand,
there are a number of people who want lists.debian.org to provide only
mangled web archives. Whether this includes mangled headers or email
addresses, or simply missing messages depends on the request.
