[swift-evolution] [Discussion] mailing list alternative

[Charles Srstka]

Oh, Mail messes up the grouping of them quite a lot in my experience. Whenever we get one of those epic, super controversial threads with tons of posts in them, it’s almost guaranteed to split into two or three parallel threads, on my machine anyway.
