1. pipermail is buggy and the Mailman developers ignore even simple bugfixes (I submitted a patch years ago but the bug continues);
2. Googlemail is arguably buggy and triggers one of the pipermail bugs. I forget the exact details of the Googlemail bug, but I do remember Google seemed to argue their implementation was valid and - as I wrote - it is arguable rather than a clear-cut bug.
Workarounds including replacing pipermail with lurker or one of the other systems, but there are already other archives. The real fix is to fix pipermail, but that's a big job and it doesn't seem it would ever be included in Mailman. Of course, Google's preferred solution is for everyone to use GoogleGroups, but that's absurd.
I suspect the post may be intact in the mbox download, but sometimes they're not.
Interesting. Thank you very much for your feedback, MJ! :) Cheers, Ricardo
