Suppose I didn't subscribe gcc mail list, and I want to share my

email at http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2012-03/msg01763.html
doesn't get linked to expected mail thread at

When you ask to see a message in "raw text", you see:
Message-ID: <000001ccfc22$59706ed0$0c514c70$@guo@xxxxxxx>
Now when you look at Paolo's reply, it has:
References: <000001ccfc22$59706ed0$0c514c70$@guo@xxxxxxx>
In-Reply-To: <000001ccfc22$59706ed0$0c514c70$@guo@xxxxxxx>
(beware that the web page gets a mangled version for antispam purposes,
with @ -> at, . -> dot)
So you need to convince your mailer to add those.
I think there may also be ways to ask the mail system to send you some old
messages, look through the instructions.
