The little chain icon in the lower right, next to the thumbs up and thumbs down, generates: https://lists.ffmpeg.org/archives/list/ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org/message/LHST5...

Thanks. It sucks a little less than the first impression. But it still sucks. The fact that it defaults to a non-monospace font, for starters, and tries to “pretty print” the mail is terrible for our use. Regards, -- Nicolas George

Also: threading. For example, this thread <https://lists.ffmpeg.org/archives/list/ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org/thread/Q4TED2ECCNO4LNH2DSUAH4YZYAMF3QX5/> that looks like that wit a MUA that supports threading :

[FFmpeg-user] Bruce Gavin : Access Exception 0xC0000005 from Windows.CreateProcess() └─>[FFmpeg-user] Gyan Doshi : Re: Access Exception 0xC0000005 from Windows.CreateProcess() ├─> Bruce Gavin │ └─> Gyan Doshi └─> Bruce Gavin └─> Tobias Rapp

On the web version, there is a vague indentation to show the threading, but nothing as readable as what we used to have.

theres also: https://lists.ffmpeg.org/lore/ffmpeg-devel/ https://www.mail-archive.com/ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org/ Also if anyone has suggestions for better mail archieve software or better settings for ours ... thx [...] -- Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB Avoid a single point of failure, be that a person or equipment.

This is a lot better. I do not find how to get a threaded index like we used to have, but it looks usable.

Thanks.

Could we have a link to this version in the information page of the list?

for this https://ffmpeg.org/contact.html#MailingLists you can add it to git@ffmpeg.org:ffmpeg-web you should have write access for https://lists.ffmpeg.org/mailman3/lists/ffmpeg-devel.ffmpeg.org/ iam not sure where to change that thx [...] -- Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB There will always be a question for which you do not know the correct answer.

Hi. Thanks for the reminder. It is not easy to add usefully, but I can propose the attached patch.

Alas, that would be the place where it is most useful.
