I would like to see this solved, as it is really annoying when doing
research in the archive. The archive is already close to unusable as it
lacks a google-groups-like view of threads. Another issue while we are
at it: As threads don't work well, I choose to sort the mails by date.
Which doesn't work well when some folks come from the future :) (No
offense intended, there are also examples from people living in the past
;o). If there are guidelines for posting, they should include that the
clock is set correct (at least approximately).

Regards, Daniel
