Well the list archive is fairly crap and doesn't have mailto: hyperlinks
for replies (unlike the W3C archives at lists.w3.org which is great in
this respect), so unless you can manually add a References header to the
mail I suppose that threading will get broken.

I've no idea why this hasn't appeared...

All (but one) of the default templates 'hide' links by default, links
only show up when the Title is repeated in a HTML or Text component.

The exception to this is when using the 'default inline links'
template.

We realise that this is confusing and the plan is to have a List
Component (some ideas here:
http://testers.mkdoc.com/ideas/components/list/) and do away with the
different templates that we have at the moment.
