couple of his messages in the archives for the year 2033!

if the system clock on the machine that creates the mail is wrong, so is the date in the archive.

I'm not sure I'd agree that it's a feature...

neither am I. we may change that. But there's always the philosophical question of overriding what a user puts in their email, since it IS their email. list servers DO make changes by definition, but at the same time, you want to only change what you feel is necessary for the common purposes. and besides, wouldn't it be better if these end users FIXED THEIR SYSTEMS? (grin)


I suppose that that's a good idea now that you've removed our email
addresses from the published messages.

Personally I would have been tempted to make the archives searchable by list
members only and used something like mnogosearch:

we can do a decent search engine. Google can do a damn good one. but we have to respect users privacy opening up the archives, too. it's a tradeoff. But with the upcoming features of Tiger and local search, easy download of archives becomes a key, and that also was a factor. and we hope to (at some point) add tarballs in some form, and also some way of authenticating into the archives to get the email addresses back. but thos features could wait, given how some groups were dying for this upgrade (for, things like, oh, 8biit characters?)


we tried to make sure the critical fixes and upgrades went in now, and we'll keep working to improve it from here on in. this isn't the last upgrade by any means.
