Ost's post remains unchanged in my archives, and in those of all the other 
people who subscribe to the list via email and don't delete old mail.  On a 
web forum, aside from those that forward new posts to thread subscribers 
via email, the canonical version of the post is the one on the web.  On a 
mailing list like LAU, it's the one that reached the subscribers' inboxes.  
I think that's the reason that feature is rare in mailing list software.
