That does the trick! I managed to join the list with such an 'enhanced' 
message.
Then I wanted to retrieve the messages from Simon Clubley. I tried these 
search expressions:

search ada-comment subject atomic record

search ada-comment subject atomic

search ada-comment subject Atomic

Then I gave up - all were replied with 'No expression match'

Has someone any hints how to use the search function of the list server?
I read the help, think I understood it, but apparently I have done something 
wrong...
