You could make an argument that anything that makes the whole mailing list/Commitfest interface easier is worthwhile to implement even if there isn't much demand outside of that context. In addition to that, I know I regularly come across messages in the archives via web searching that lead me to list aggregators like MarkMail, and since the message ID can't always be found at those it's painful to then track that back to where they were in the archives in order to get a permanent URL. This proposal won't fix that for the old messages already over there, but those will decrease in proportion moving forward. Probably increase visibility to using the archives too. As for making the footer longer, you might compress the existing bits like this: -- Make changes to your psql-www@postgresql.org subscription at: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-www In order to make space for a new line in there. -- * Greg Smith gsmith@gregsmith.com http://www.gregsmith.com Baltimore, MD
