Hmmm, gmail conveniently collapses previously-seen content into an
ellipse so that didn't jump out out me before.

I don't get your point about gmail then. If you don't expect internet
email to be secure in any case then you won't send secrets over it and
it won't matter who archives, forwards, or searches it. This is all
pretty obvious for public mail lists anyway and there's not that much
point in trying to mix them with even business-level security. I
prefer to have a completely separate account for list use although
some companies might be so restrictive as to not let you use even web
access to it from work machines.
