This is a _feature_ of the pipermail component of GNU mailman.  It
intentionally limits the indentation depth to 4 in order to keep the
html pages readable.  Researching somewhat I found that this is
intentionally not a user-chageable option and at least one guy reported
problems on changing it[1], so I prefer to keep the setting as is ;)

Cheers
  Detlev
