Is it possible to have a pipermail-style UI as an alternative? I don't know pipermail. Do you have an example?

https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/ :-)

The main drawback of Mailman 2 archives is that discussions are splitted between each month. It can be a pain to follow a long discussion done in multiple months. Sadly, I don't know if Mailman 3 handles this case better :-D

If I take https://mail.python.org/mm3/archives/list/buildbot-status@python.org/thread/MZ7QOZM6V7OALPSYSNSIHGGSLXMQHCF2/ as an example, I don't think it will allow to follow a long discussion at all. Can you imagine a 100-message thread displayed that way?

The pipermail UI isn't perfect (the monthly segregation can be annoying as you point out), but at least it has a synthetic and easy-to-navigate tree view.

Regards

Antoine.
