[U-Boot] Subject line tag differences "U-Boot-Users vs. U-Boot" between the two U-Boot mailing list servers

Dear Ken.Fuchs at bench.com,

Typically. Assume that the mailing list archive on list.denx.de will
include the old archives from SF, too. It doesn't yet, but it will.

I though it to mean what it says it means :-)

Non-new messages would mean to re-send old messages - that its
obviously is pretty stupid thing to do.

No. A new message is a new message, independent of any thread it
belongs to, wheter this may be an old, existing thread r a new one.

I strongly disagree. You have to send a new message to respond to an
old one.

What makes you think the mailing list server is to blame for that? If
I send a message to you, with the list on cc:, the list server has no
chance of interfering with the message I send to you.

Are you absolutely sure that the list server is doing this? And not
your own mail server on your receiving end?

None that I know of.
