Description Renat Golubchyk 2003-09-14 14:41:23 UTC
Almost every week somebody asks for a link to the archives at one of the mailing
lists. In order to resolve this situation people have made many propositions,
but unfortunately nothing has happened. Here are, for example, two of the requests:

1. Add a link to the webpage at http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/lists.xml
2. Add a line with the link to the signature that gets appended to every mail.

The signature could look like this:

-- 
gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Archives at http://news.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.user


The link could of course point to another location such as
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=gentoo-user&r=1&w=2
or to multiple locations.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
A link to the mailinglist archives at some obvious place.

we are working on our own mailing list archives which will be available soon.  at that point, we will look at this request.

marking as later.
