I thought that had been fixed.

I don't think so.

In my experience, Google would currently find about a dozen matches 
from 5 email threads for September 2013; we know there were more 
email threads than that.

For October Google would currently find no email thread from the 
Syslinux mailing list, but perhaps that's how it works until the 
month is actually archived.

At least one Mailing List Archive web service based on Google is 
currently listing the Syslinux ML as "Dormant", so it stopped 
archiving the ML since May 2013.

I have had similar experiences with other search services for the 
last 12 months.

I wonder if Mailman puts something in that prevents Google from crawling.

Unfortunately I don't know when I'll have time to look into that.
