I'm not happy with the archives of dwm:
http://lists.suckless.org/dwm/0809/index.html
An old program http://www.hypermail-project.org/ (51k SLOC) is used and I don't
think it manages threads as well as mutt.
Compare mutt's output:
2904 N 14/09 Johannes Wegener ( 0) [dwm] XCB?

2906 N 14/09 Tobias Ulmer ( 0) | `->

2910 N 14/09 Donald Chai ( 0) `->

With hypermail's:

Besides looking ugly, Kai's reply isn't properly indented at the third(?)
level.
I was wondering if anyone more competent than I has looked through mutt's
threading source or at least thought about writing a better Web mail archival
tool. Or perhaps a better tool exists for putting mail boxes on the Web?
I think in the case of the suckless community, you can perhaps assume message
id references will not get b0rked, so the implementation could be simpler.
