Using a web interface to read an email list archive is no different than
using a web interface to a mainframe that expects you to be using a 3270
terminal. People have made shims that look pretty and sort of work, but
there are always going to be issues. Those using such an interface can't
expect full functionality.

That said, if a web interface to a mailing list archive breaks threads and
doesn't support quick keyboard navigation, that web interface is broken.
The proper response is to file a bug report with its developer, not adopt
lazy and broken quoting practices and demand that technical people adapt to
them.
