Hello Everybody,
Just a quick note asking for comments about the mail archives. It's been about
six months since I started storing everything, and I guess I'm just looking
for some feedback on them.
So, do people use them? Is the format alright? Do people use either format? (I
keep the elm mail folder format so the MIME encoded stuff will be alright.)
Just in case you haven't taken a look at it:

in plain grey background. (8-)
The only thing I can think of is making the digests a little shorter, but
that's going to have to wait until I code a script to take care of the
archiving automatically (right now, I save all the messages using elm filter,
but I have to transfer it to the WWW pages manually), and that's
going to have to wait until I graduate. IF I graduate. (8-)
Thanks,
J.
Jerry,
Personally, I have found the archives very useful, particularly when my email
system started playing silly Bs!! I use the ASCII form (cause I don't use
elm). I think it quite important that we have some kind of list archive. The
simplest way is what you're doing, but is fairly space intensive. A digest
would be preferable, but that means someone would have to sift the messages to
produce it. I don't know anybody who would have the time.
Any thoughts, anyone?
Mike Elliott
BTW, Jerry, thanks for the AOI game and your help as vice admiral (well,
OK, admiral most of the time). I didn't particularly want to be admiral
anyway, but everyone else wnated me to be. Ho hum.
