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.
