I've just read your post: http://support.nabble.com/Bug-in-Mail-List-Archives-td7598220.html the issue is not recent, I looked at my older messages in the Pharo mlist and you can notice the same problem one year ago: http://forum.world.st/I-can-t-run-Pharo5-on-Linux-Ubuntu-14-04-4-LTS-td4909028.html

I don't think that is the case. If you go to your (Davide Varvello) profile page you see that almost all your list of posts are now shown with an icon indicating "not accepted by the mail list". That is patently wrong! There are several posts that have clearly passed through the mail list as they include the distinctive mail list footer that point to the archive.

The aggregation to a maillist username for all non-registered users is the new bit and in doing that it does, as you say, shows all past posts under the new aggregated user name and that has had two side effects. Others posting to the mail list now show the same username as you and it looks as if posts made via the archive are failing.

Until you you started this topic I do not recall ever seeing a user given as the forum name. Nor have I seen the kind of posting list I found on the OpenSSL archive where multiple posters now show as a single user, yet their individual record of posts and replies can be made out through multiple lists of replies. What normally happens is that the initial post on the topic is shown with the full number of replies and each later post will show one less reply against it.

I do run a number of mail lists directly in Nabble (not archives) where non-registered users sign up. In that case their username is taken as the part of their email address before the @ (with a "-2" appended where there are duplicates). It seems that part of the system that is no longer working properly.
