Uh, how do you reply to an email from the archives web page? The only
way I have found to do it is to cut/paste the email addresses (and fix
the obfuscation), or download the mbox file.
Because my personal system uses email I can reply to the email, or
someone can download the mbox that goes with my queue. Either way going
from the web to email is an extra step, for sure.
