Y'all, I got this response from Dan Knight about my problem in accessing the archives the other day; I didn't know it, and maybe some of y'all didn't either.

I just tried going to <http://www.mail-archive.com> and found the following message on the home page: "June 2, 2003 Mail-Archive is experiencing technical problems, all archives are temporarily offline and are being actively restored from backup. Because of the very large volume of data, this process takes a long time - multiple days so far, and possible a few more are required. Thank you for your patience. Estimated time of completion June 4 20:00 PST Jeff Breidenbach" I just checked my Sent Messages folder, and saw that I had tried accessing Mail-Archive late in the evening of May 31. Perhaps the system was already breaking down, and that's why the URL didn't work. I got what I needed from MacLaunch, but will check Mail-Archive again on Thursday morning (US EDT) as it should be up if everything was on schedule. Emphasis on SHOULD. I know how those things go. cc'ed to Dan Knight FYI. =============================================================================== I'm a MUGWump: My "MUG" is on the Mac side of the fence (since mid-2002), and my "Wump" is on the PC side (since 1989).
