I hope this is the right place to suggest this, I choose this list,
because mail is filed under docs.freebsd.org/mail/.

I find myself referencing mails from the freebsd mailing lists quite
frequently, e.g. referencing a related thread/mail.

To do this, I check the date of the e-mail and manually dig the permanent
link out of the archives.

What I'd really love to see if the mailing list software automatically
added a signature like this to each mail it distributes:
--
Archived under: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?4EA81B90.60501


-- 
A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
A: Top-posting.
Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail?
