Dear esteemed colleagues,
I'm enjoying the gendergap list, but I'm getting confused about what each message is referring to. It might be good to state your topic instead of using, 'he', 'she', and 'they.' With a few relatively concurrent topics under discussion, which is fine, I want to make sure I am following, without having to go through several days of email strings. It doesn't seem like a bad idea to make that url on your topic available, either. As I scroll down, you lose me, I see no name for the person under discussion and no link either, might be hidden in the list underbrush...
I recently referred to Anita S. I don't know her, don't know how she would be contacted, Andreas. I don't know if she contributes to Wikipedia, even. Anyone who might have weighed in without first exploring the nature of her work missed it's essence. Evidence is useful to this forum and its mission.

Dear Karen,
I have contacted Anita, and hope she will have time to look in.
(As for the threading of topics, I suspect that gmail handles the thread structure better than hotmail. In gmail, all the posts that belong to a given topic always appear together, in one long list, so it's easier to see what preceded any given post.)
Best, Andreas
hm, reading the threads in the list archive is an option that I often use, too, and it is independent of any mail program ;-)
example, by thread, this month: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/gendergap/2012-June/thread.html
:-) cheers Claudia
