That might be a concern if the mail.python.org archive failed, and all usenet archives fell offline. Since the threading wasn't broken, it's a simple matter of looking at the previous message in the thread, as referenced in the appropriate headers: In-Reply-To: <bf18w.682041$9R5.556154@fx29.am4> References: <m3q6ae$m8p$1...@news.albasani.net> <bf18w.682041$9R5.556154@fx29.am4> where that particular message can be found. Any competent mailer or news client should handle threading without the user even thinking about it. It might also be more of a concern if there was actual question/answer content rather than just a little throw-away humor. -tkc -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
