  The scons-list had the same problem. I wrote:

  This was due to tigris adding the header X-No-Archive-flag to every mail, but
I think they've stopped doing this so recent articles should be available..

  Other lists has had the same problem:

     No, it's not -- we're working on getting the header turned off, but
     it's tricky due to the way the list server is set up.

     Can you tell who set up the list at Gmane? It would be great if we
     could get Gmane to ignore the header.

  The subversion list solved this by asking gmane not to honor these

     Ok; I've now switched off X-No-Archive handling for all
     @subversion.tigris.org lists.
