W5WVO:
>A mail reflector like this one is run strictly using POP3 email
protocol. This
is a dynamic protocol in that the server doesn't keep a copy of the messages
it gets; it receives them and promptly sends them back out to the subscribers,
just like a repeater. There is no permanent server record of the messages.
Not so. Here are the archives since 2001:
http://mailman.qth.net/pipermail/elecraft/
and for May 2007:
http://mailman.qth.net/pipermail/elecraft/2007-May/thread.html
...and yes, inappropriate messages can be deleted
from Mailman archives although it takes special effort
by the sysop(i.e. not simply the list admin)

P.S. Just 3 weeks ago I posted how you can read
this list on the web and never receive a single email:
http://mailman.qth.net/pipermail/elecraft/2007-May/067199.html
This solves the mail overload problem people love to
complain about but clearly some just love to complain anyway!
