Actually, I've been doing that since early in 2000. Counting the tune you just posted, I have 49 tunes. They're at: http://trillial.mit.edu/~jc/music/abc/mirror/scots-l/ I'd encourage others to do this, too, for any lists they're on. It can take a bit of time to put the ABC tunes into a usable form. The problem is that you tend to get tunes posted without a title, by someone wondering what the tune is called. Then you get a bunch of replies that give the title and maybe other information about the tune, all in English. No software can ever extract this information. So you hunt down the replies (which aren't always recognized as a thread by mail readers due to mangling of the subject or message-id lines), and you do a bunch of editing. My Tune Finder does have a couple of mailing-list archives in its list of places to search, but it is quite unsuccessful at extracting ABC tunes from them, for the above reasons. It does a much better job when someone has taken the time to combine the messages into one ABC file with the info in the header lines. This takes sufficient work that I find myself being lazy and missing some of them. And I'm not sure I always find all the information that people post. So I'd encourage others to do the same, and put the tunes on their web site. This could be a useful resource to future musical historians. For that matter, it can be useful to people today.

Re: [scots-l] Tune Archive
Just another note to say that my band the Whistlebinkies did a live webcast from the Edinburgh Festival for BBC Radio 3 last Tuesday evening. The show can still be accessed at the following: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/edinburgh/ram/edjunction.ram Sound and pictures are a bit ropey, but - hey its the BBC! Our bit is clip 4 at the end - after earlier spots by a flamenco band and Jackie Leven. I'm the bald one with the glasses. If anyone is able to save the clip for me I'd be eternally grateful - there's a free CD in it.
