Whoops, sent the email before I had finished the email...


Ludo's message is at the top of the webpage. It might be nice to make
it visually obvious, which message corresponds to which link in the sidebar.

We could perhaps:

1 number each message and sidebar link

2 highlight which link in the sidebar that corresponds to the currently
viewed message.

I'm attaching a picture to give a visual representation.

I will probably take a stab at implementing this soon, but anyone
is welcome to beat me to it, or if you really disagree with the idea,
you can always let me know!

Thanks,

Joshua

I agree it could be helpful. Just a minor workaround while waiting a
fix. :-)

For complex thread, what I do (when I do not use the Emacs front-end of
Debbugs :-)) is to read them using a Web frontend of some public-inbox
instance. For instance,

1. I click to the icon download [1],
2. search Message-ID (here line 43),
3. copy/stash it (here 87fulrsqxx.fsf@gnu.org),
4. paste it to the navigation bar appending the public-inbox URL (here

Last, I am usually interested by the thread overview so I add ’/#r’ to
the URL, as in [2].




Cheers,
simon
