A good editor's response to "I didn't understand this part of your spec" might occasionally be "You need to read this other part first", or "You need to slow down and read more carefully"...
...but most of the time it's "I will clarify it".

Florian RivoalJust figured this out (thanks @fantasai for the hint): If you're a heavy user of mailing lists (like w3c's) and of Thunderbird, go into the Config Editor, and set "mailnews.headers.extraExpandedHeaders" to "Archived-At".
Now each message that is archived somewhere will let you know where, so that you can quote that and point others to it.
