+1.
I find MHonarc is much easier interface to use and better viewing
experience.
Wish mailarchive.ietf had a similar user interface. Currently, I use
MHonarc for this reason.

I stopped using mailarchive and I almost exclusively use mhonarc
This is now easy since the dual links in the datatracker returned.
I was making up the correct links before, which was a pain.
I find the search-only interface to mailarchive annoying, and frankly
slow.
While the thread support is better, it is still not anywhere as close
to MHonarc. When I find an email that I care about, and I ask for the
thread view, I get the thread for the entire list --- yes, with that
email opened, but the entire thread is there.
If there is a URL for that thread, I don't know it, and it is not easily
found.
Frankly, I just feel stupid interacting with an active system when I
know a set of static files would satisfy my needs. No matter how fast
the
active system can be made...

neat. I understand the desire to get rid of mhonarc. I want mailarchive
to succeed, but it still feels really klunky to me.

It would be cool if I could get an IMAP URL from mailarchive, as that
would let me jump from searching the archives for a relevant thread,
and right into writing a reply to it.
