IETF Mail archive message links #243

Closed hassanakbar4 closed 2 years ago

component_MailArchive: User Interface resolution_fixed type_defect | by pusateri@bangj.com

The only reason I use the HTML mail archives is to send a link to a particular message to someone. I think this used to work fine but recently I noticed that I can't find a way to link to a particular message in the archive. For example, I tried:

https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/browse/dnsop/

Each message does not appear to have a distinct URL.

Am I doing it wrong?

It says version 1.12.6 on the bottom left.

I see the MHonArc version has links per message. I guess it's enough to have one of these two options have this feature for my purposes. If you are thinking of deprecating one of the mailing list archives, please make sure the messages are individually linkable. Thanks!

Tom -

Each of the messages are individually linkable now. But I see a UI change that makes it harder to get if you are not using the new "static mode".

(If you are using static mode, the links will be obvious.)

In the original, non-static mode:

Until recently, there was an arrow in the UI that let you get the link easily.

As a workaround, doubleclicking the message in the list will bring up a window with the indiviual message in it, and you can get its direct URL from the URL bar.

Robert, thanks for the hint. Yes, double-clicking does what I want. You can close this. Thanks!
