I have always used http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/ which is a normal readable mailman-style archive rather than one of these horrible modern ones which makes conversations almost impossible to follow. (Seriously, lkml.org throws away branches of the thread tree that you're just about to read so it can show the tree to you in a 5cm box, and then doesn't visibly offer a 'next in thread' button. What on earth were they thinking?!)

While I don't like every aspect of lkml.org, one thing it does is link things together even if time has passed.

E.g. https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/8/30/877 has a link to https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/9/1/41 (and back).

Now, that's only 2 days, but its different months/weeks/whatwever, and that tends to work very badly with archives of the style you prefer, as all threading is broken every so often.

The above two messages in your preferred archive are
http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1808.3/04944.html
http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1809.0/00008.html

Please tell me where the thread-next/thread-prev links for these two messages can be found in that archive, because I can't find them, and it really make the whole thing less appealing.

This is the downside :( I wish Mailman next/prev links weren't constrained to within a single month/week like that.
