Ost's post remains unchanged in my archives, and in those of all the other
people who subscribe to the list via email and don't delete old mail. On a
web forum, aside from those that forward new posts to thread subscribers
via email, the canonical version of the post is the one on the web. On a
mailing list like LAU, it's the one that reached the subscribers' inboxes.
I think that's the reason that feature is rare in mailing list software.
