This is a minor wishlist for a desktop guix's issues.

Whoops, sent the email before I had finished the email...

Consider https://issues.guix.gnu.org/24937#10

Ludo's message is at the top of the webpage.  It might be nice to make 
it visually obvious, which message corresponds to which link in the sidebar.

We could perhaps:

1 number each message and sidebar link

2 highlight which link in the sidebar that corresponds to the currently 
viewed message.

I'm attaching a picture to give a visual representation.

I will probably take a stab at implementing this soon, but anyone
is welcome to beat me to it, or if you really disagree with the idea,
you can always let me know!

Thanks,

Joshua

I agree it could be helpful.  Just a minor workaround while waiting a
fix. :-)

For complex thread, what I do (when I do not use the Emacs front-end of
Debbugs :-)) is to read them using a Web frontend of some public-inbox
instance.  For instance,

 1. I click to the icon download [1],
 2. search Message-ID (here line 43),
 3. copy/stash it (here 87fulrsqxx.fsf <at> gnu.org),
 4. paste it to the navigation bar appending the public-inbox URL (here
 https://yhetil.org/guix/).

Last, I am usually interested by the thread overview so I add ’/#r’ to
the URL, as in [2].

Cheers,
