The "final version" of a thread can be found in the archives.  This is a
good way for an individual to check how their posts effected flow of a
given thread.  Good direct feedback as to whether you're doing it right.  I
admit have sometimes forgotten to set up my replies, the archive is a
permanent record of my imperfections.  lol.

I use gmail exclusively for this list, but my messages come from many
devices - VT100 / Mutt, web browsers, Android.   As far as gmail archiving
my email for profiling I would think my interests would be of little
marketing value to them, they can have it.  I don't use gmail for sensitive
things.
