[ale] OT (slightly): How do you read the ale mailing list?

[James Sumners]

Outlook does threading, but poorly. Almost as bad as it detects spam.

For ALE, I use Gmail's web interface. But, lately, I have started
using Gmane's NNTP support to access other lists. It's great, and very
tempting to switch the way I access this list.
