You are absolutely right, but it gets better. If you use URLs of the form

http://news.gmane.org/find-root.php?message_id=<some-m...>

it does the same, but it drops you in the threaded view, with the referenced message focused. You don't just get the message itself, you get all its context all at once. That's a killer feature indeed.

Ingebrigtsen: The End of Gmane?

Exactly. I'll really miss gmane's find-root functionality.

Actually I find gmane's find-root + sensible email-thread GUI the only way to properly read mailing lists.

Mailman for example, even if you chose the "list by thread" option, only shows the thread within the boundary of a month. If the thread passed a month, you're out ot luck :-(
