Starting last fall I began to fix that, and Rob Lancefield joined me a few months ago to make the new, fully-searchable archive as complete as it can be (Rob had obsessively saved older MCN-L messages that weren't even in the current MCN server's archive!). It's now all done, and available at https://www.mail-archive.com/mcn-l%40mcn.edu/ and it has a pretty great advanced search, too (start with a simple search and then it'll offer more options). The messages by date interface only shows the most recent 3000 or so messages, but try the advanced search, and you'll see that (thanks to Rob!) the messages go back to 1996 ... the very beginning of MCN-L. Check it out: https://www.mail-archive.com/mcn-l%40mcn.edu/msg09558.html You might also, with crafty advanced searching, see that a handful of messages are erroneously time-stamped in 1970, the beginning of Unix time (thank your system admin if this never happened at your employer). But sadly, they actually came from much later. If you ever lose the link, it's in the footer of every MCN-L message. Enjoy!

Great work! Just for the record, everyone, the content we folded in from my saved postings from the earliest years is somewhat selective, based on pruning I did for a personal email migration long ago; so there are fewer announcements and such than were actually posted to MCN-L back in the day. That said, it gives a good sense of what topics were in play in the list's early years--back when, for example, having an Internet SIG made sense, and when locking down Netscape Navigator for kiosks was a thing, and so on. And it does have the MCN-L ur-message! cheers, Rob On Sat, May 30, 2015 11:27 am, Matt Morgan wrote: For many years MCN-L's online archive was only spottily indexed by search engines and so wasn't super-usable.
