Hi Stewart -
The Official lute mail list archives go back to the beginning,
to a message from Caroline on Feb 11, 1992. These archives are
in ftp form, at ftp://ftp.cs.dartmouth.edu/pub/lute (connect as
guest, or ftp) and are in multiple month files. These days
you could download them all and store them on your computer for
easy searching. Your message is there, in the file
There are also various mail list archive sites on the web, and on
Aug 29 2003 I started sending messages to mail-archive.com. Other
people have signed up to send messages to other archive sites
at various times. In the case of archive sites, I do not run the
sites. I just direct messages that way, and the site owners do the rest.
They have sometimes censored certain posts, or advertised pornography
on the margins, and I have no control of that.
Every message gets automatically added to the FTP archives after a week.
I haven't gotten around to organizing the most recent years.
Wayne

Dear Wayne,
How far back do the Lute Net Archives go? I have been trying to locate
my first message to the Lute Net, which was on 8th September 1999,
about the song As I me walked, but I can't find any messages that
long ago.
Best wishes,
Stewart McCoy.
