At the bottom of every sanskrit list mail is a URL.
You need to go to that URL to browse the archive.
If you forgot your password, you can ask it to send it to you.

I find this use of antar really irritating. antar means 'inside'. The
use of antar to calque inter- as used in English ignores the structure
of Sanskrit and seems to originate solely in sound similarity and
cognateness. But then, antar and 'under' are also cognate and sound as
similar as antar and inter (both pairs differ by just one sound). Why
not calque under- (as in Under-Secretary or understand etc) by antar-.
To me, they sound equally logical. antarjaalasangha sounds like an
assembly, perhaps of fish, inside some net.
I don't understand the apparent reluctance to use words that can be
formed using productive suffixes, even if they do not occur in extant
literature, but to prefer compounds, especially when they play havoc
with established meaning of words. [This does not seem universal: I once
looked at a dictionary of Hindi/Sanskrit equivalents for technical
words. I found the math ones completely unimaginative. The nearby words
from biology seemed to have been selected with more flair.]
