Mailman still isn’t reflecting all mail. Just recently, this arrived in my
email:

https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2021-December/134940.html

But not the earlier two posts in the same thread:

https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2021-December/134938.html
https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2021-December/134939.html

What has changed in the email infrastructure recently?
