Well, if they can't do imap (because of a firewall) git can't do imap...

I guess for them (webmail users) it would be better if we attached
patches, but we don't do that here. In any case, our list is mirrored on
gmane, and you can use the interface there. For example, you get the
first message in this thread using the gmane id or the message id like this:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/125591
http://mid.gmane.org/2729632a0908111343v73fa475fqb6353dcf2f718101@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

If you add /raw to those URLs you get the original message so that you
can happily wget/curl/browse and save away.
