Hi Stewart - The "Official" lute mail list archives go back to the beginning, to a message from Caroline on Feb 11, 1992. These archives are in ftp form, at ftp://ftp.cs.dartmouth.edu/pub/lute (connect as guest, or "ftp") and are in multiple month files. These days you could download them all and store them on your computer for easy searching. Your message is there, in the file
There are also various mail list archive sites on the web, and on Aug 29 2003 I started sending messages to mail-archive.com. Other people have signed up to send messages to other archive sites at various times. In the case of archive sites, I do not run the sites. I just direct messages that way, and the site owners do the rest. They have sometimes censored certain posts, or advertised pornography on the margins, and I have no control of that. Every message gets automatically added to the FTP archives after a week. I haven't gotten around to organizing the most recent years.
