   People sometimes complain that the people at Google have messed with   
   the archive of Deja-Vu, but the purpose of having an archive is so   
   that people can read and repliy to old messages. If I posted a query   
   here 20 years ago and someone replied with the answer, I'd be very   
   grateful.   
      
   The problem with Gmail is not replies to old messages, but that the   
   latest incarnation of Gmail makes reply-quoting difficult, and without   
   it, one doesn't know what someone is replying to.
