Checking back. This is still an issue.
The web list archives seems to sort things by the MUA's "Date" header (??)
without normalizing the timezones. When I refresh the page, I expect the newer
messages to show up at the bottom. It should be "append-mostly". But with
good consistency I see messages shift around in both directions, and it makes
this a less useful/efficient way to follow the list.
