The problem with this is that when searching through gmane, and 
selecting a single message with a hit, one gets only to see that message 
without its context thread. At least I could not find out a way to 
switch from the found message to the thread in which it occurred.

The search facility on www.mail-archive.com is much nicer in that 
respect, but as mentioned, as of yesterday seems to have forgotten about 
all messages prior to November 2007, and from 2008.

Too bad...

Ciao,
Janis.
