Bottom line in every mail is
"https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users",
a page where in the first section reads:
"visit the Digikam-users Archives"
<http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/digikam-users/>.

Some people may find this web-interface a bit crude and 
prefer another option, which is GMANE:
The page <http://gmane.org/find.php?list=digikam> shows both 
the user and dev lists; using GMANE paths in many modern 
mail-clients is a preferred way by many people for accessing 
mailinglist content. By using the -nomail option in mailman 
(the digikam-users mail software) you can even turn off mail 
delivery to your normal mailbox, yet still send mail to the 
list. And do the reading via GMANE in Thunderbird or 
whatever client.

Maybe all the mailinglist junkies never caught up with 
'progress' ?? ;-)

I think it's always been the general consensus that 'Albums' 
is just a pseudonym for real directories/folders. Many of us 
are using all kinds of other software and scripts to deal 
with our images, so any database/virtual storage pointers 
are a no-go.

Hope this helps,
