Hi Ian This is something that's been bugging me for quite a while now. As David says, we have a number of archives from different list managers and the earlier archives are not currently in a state that will easily facilitate searching etc. It would be good to get the archives into a searchable format and as David has made a start on this I'll contact him off-list and see what he has in mind.
