Sorry to top post but its hard to know where to start. I am not going
to compare my email archive (ie my imap store) with those online
archives to find out what you are talking about. If you think some
emails are missing from the archives, and you are really really worried
about it I suggest that you take a note of the times , senders and
Message-Id and analyse it a bit further.

I can see emails from myself and Chris S in the archives that you have
posted jpegs of. 

Have you ever considered:

1. that no one who regularly reads this list actually runs those
archives

2. that the archives do not update instantly

I for one have never liked the "mail-archive" archives. The ethernal
one is run by a friendly local (NZ) subscriber who doesn't post much
these days, and who does not provide a real time feed of his archives.
Feel free to contact him, but be more polite than just a blunt "please
fix this" - he provides a useful service for no particular reason other
than that he feels like it.

By the way,are you the Wilbur who screwd up Don Gould's machine so that
every one of his posts now reads "I would install foo, but Wilbur
removed/screwed up/deleted my foo-installer-gizmo-magic-bean, and I
don't know how to get it back."

If so please come back and fix it, we are sick of his moaning about
it :-)

Yes, the wiki is wrong if it still says you don't have to have the it.
subdomain in the email address of this list. I assume you have fixed
the wiki by now. It  used to work just addressing to @canterbury etc,
it changed at some point. Thanks for pointing that out.
