I have filed an issue regarding the mailing list search interface:

   http://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=195966

And in the process, I found three recent messages in which people
complained about the forums truncating messages sent to the list:

   http://netbeans.org/projects/platform/lists/dev/archive/2011-01/message/387
   http://netbeans.org/projects/platform/lists/dev/archive/2011-02/message/154
   http://netbeans.org/projects/platform/lists/dev/archive/2011-01/message/200

I would be happy to file these as promised; however, it's not obvious
to me what category/subcategory is appropriate for bug reports about
the mailing list itself.  Please advise and I will file the issue.
