Ok, this list was crushing my OS X Mail program (not the
coldest beer in the fridge) so I went to a hybrid approach
of reading on gmane, and using NetNewsWire to track the
news feed from gmane.

As a result, I don't have original mail messages to reply
to. I nevertheless want to use my Mail program to
originate posts, in order to cc: interested parties
directly as appears to be the custom, and in hopes that at
least some recipients won't have xs@(x,xt) in Haskell
source code rewritten as xs <at> (x,xt).

When I send a message "Re: thread" it appears to break the
thread, showing up as a singleton in gmane's thread list.

It appears that I am caught between a rock and a hard
place.
