Yes, I was somewhat careful to check for proper mboxes from gmane; I just missed entire ranges :x What's also interesting about the thread you highlighed is the extra '<>' when you started that thread; and I have a bug where I strip off an extra '>' which needs to be fixed... I wonder if I should make "editorial" changes to fixup user bugs, but then there's also bunch of messages which are replies to because git-send-email had usability problems back in the day... > I had several hundred message ids that you didn't.

Thanks, should all be imported. The one which started the thread belonging to was really iffy, but I kept it; as well as an "unsubscribe" one; I guess those people are shamed for life :) git cat-file blob HEAD:b7/5bb577d76487bc9aebf0656d4e03eff22049f4 is totally legit, but doesn't seem to show up properly, so there's another bug I need to fix. For the moment, the following also works: public-inbox.org/git/b75bb577d76487bc9aebf0656d4e03eff22049f4/ (but I guess it was reposted as <26299.4828321554$1213013668@news.gmane.org>
