Eric, try the below link that was passed to me. I used it when I was searching for info on my new digital camera, all you have to do once you have the link in your browser is change the search term. ie........words=MVC-CD250 change that to XFCE menu and it should work. Here: http://www.mail-archive.com/cgi-bin/htsearch?method=and&format=short&config=newbie_linux-mandrake_com&restrict=&exclude=&words=MVC-CD250 That took about 2 seconds. Right-click the links, do a save target as, and you're looking at a couple minutes tops. Even on dial-up that shouldn't break the bank. BTW, it's not Mandrake that doesn't support email querying of the archives, it's the mailing list manager, Sympa, that doesn't support it. Also, have you tried usenet? If you can go online to get the headers, then go offline, and go back on the get only the messages you want. I applaud you for making the effort to use the archives! Todd Thanks again for the above Todd, I'm passing this along to someone else who hopefully can use it. -- Regards Chris Registered Linux user #283774 @ http://counter.li.org 6:39pm up 12 days, 1:36, 5 users, load average: 0.02, 0.11, 0.06
