Subject: [MCN-L] Searchable MCN-L archive is complete
For many years MCN-L's online archive was only spottily indexed by search
engines and so wasn't super-usable. Starting last fall I began to fix that,
and Rob Lancefield joined me a few months ago to make the new,
fully-searchable archive as complete as it can be (Rob had obsessively
saved older MCN-L messages that weren't even in the current MCN server's
archive!). It's now all done, and available at
https://www.mail-archive.com/mcn-l%40mcn.edu/
and it has a pretty great advanced search, too (start with a simple search
and then it'll offer more options).
The messages by date interface only shows the most recent 3000 or so
messages, but try the advanced search, and you'll see that (thanks to Rob!)
the messages go back to 1996 ... the very beginning of MCN-L. Check it out:
https://www.mail-archive.com/mcn-l%40mcn.edu/msg09558.html
You might also, with crafty advanced searching, see that a handful of
messages are erroneously time-stamped in 1970, the beginning of Unix time
(thank your system admin if this never happened at your employer). But
sadly, they actually came from much later.
If you ever lose the link, it's in the footer of every MCN-L message.
Enjoy!
Best,
Matt

Thanks, Matt. Great work!
Just for the record, everyone, the content we folded in from my saved
postings from the earliest years is somewhat selective, based on pruning I
did for a personal email migration long ago; so there are fewer
announcements and such than were actually posted to MCN-L back in the day.
That said, it gives a good sense of what topics were in play in the list's
early years--back when, for example, having an Internet SIG made sense,
and when locking down Netscape Navigator for kiosks was a thing, and so
on.
And it does have the MCN-L ur-message!
cheers,
Rob
