 I need to chime-in here, too, please.
 
 The older web interface provides one very important function than all other mail-archive sites I've seen so far:
 When a 'commit' message comes through, we can click on the links for each file that has been changed, see the 'diff's for that file, and download them as a .gz file (thus keeping tabs etc. intact).
 I don't know of any other mail-archive site that does this.
 
 There have been times when I need such a diff in order to patch something and cannot wait for the CTM deltas (our political firewall won't let us use CVSup, and I need to track -Current for a port I've volunteered to maintain [net/tn3270]).
 
 Being without this web interface is a bad thing: I'm screwed, I'm screwed right now, I've been screwed for most of this week, and I will continue to be screwed until this is fixed.
 
 So please fix ASAP.
 Please.
