Yes, I know websites are complicated. But, if the software running them doesn't work as expected, I would consider a change.

You have strong statistical evidence to support this claim, then? Because my own experience with wesbsites has been that, yes, not all websites work perfectly all of the time.
I do not have strong statistical evidence, but I have profiles/accounts on lots of websites (50+), and this is the first to not work.

There's not much to itT. itT is a webforum, it basically runs one piece of software. maemo.org, on the other hand, runs several orders of magnitude more than that—MediaWiki, Bugzilla, GForge, MXR, Mailman, Midgard, Gitorious, FeedBurner, etc, etc, etc. It's not a simple one-application website.
True.

Things don't just magically work because somebody declares they have to. The maemo.org developers are people too, just as fallible as your or me, and if you want problems to be fixed, you have to report them. Otherwise you forfeit all right to complain.
I reported the issue. Let's hope it gets resolved.

Bug # GA000001/SP
word "you" misspelled as "your"

Bug # GA000002/GR
as a part of a compound subject within a prepositional phrase, the proper pronoun is "I", not "me".

Sorry, neither Linux nor Thundebird. So the effect is still the same.

Right. With Fearless Leader, /Users/GeneralAntilles/Library/Mail would have been a better shot in the dark.

Really, though, considering where we are. Wouldn't it be appropriate to just go with Modest?
