I think this is a case of too much removed context replying to the e-mails. My comment "I'm not fond of using yet another external service." was related to using marc.info as new source of message search. To me lists.a.o is an "internal" service since it belongs to ASF (the important part being the domain, no matter what party is the service provider). lists.a.o has two downsides - I can't find a way to construct a form that submits directly to lists.a.o without Javascript. (I have asked on users@ponymail.a.o if there is another way). - It doesn't have our pre-ASF history. marc.info doesn't have these downsides so from that point of view it is superior to lists.a.o. But, for exactly the reasons you mention, "I'm not fond of using yet another external service". Kind regards, Daniel
