Either of those would work in those cases, or create
an overall first page of hello info with links to them.

Right, massaging imports is work, especially peoples
randomly corrupted mboxes.
Here mboxes tend to get linted and fixed just enough to
correctly split into maildir, then all the rest of unbreaking...
header, antispam, dates, attachment, etc... and dedup
get dealt with. Harder choices are header culling and despam.

Cypherpunks is just one book in pglaf, don't let it
take too much time from any greater mission.

List URL (Re: Fwd: Official blah blah)

[Greg Newby]

I'm still intending to get the archives from 1992-2015 up on the site, and will 
need to set up a new list to test integration.

It's possible we will need a second list just for those archives. This is 
because there are thousands of messages with bad headers, and I'm concerned 
that Mailman might (a) get direly confused, (b) intersperse old messages with 
new messages, or otherwise break the more recent archives. If this is 
happening, it might be better to have a separate list, just for the older 
archives.

What I'm talking about is a nice browsable archive (by date, thread...), in 
addition to by-month mbox files as well as the multi-year mbox files.

But if it can all be integrated, I will do as you suggest below and have the 
main site to go the (only) list, rather than to a listing of one list.

Stay tuned... I've been plugging away at processing the archives, and hope to 
get something ready for review in the next couple of weeks. It's around 92,000 
messages in a little over 500MB. (My personal first posting to the list in the 
archive was from September 2000: 19 years ago!)
