Here: http://www.mail-archive.com/cgi-bin/htsearch?method=and&format=short&config=newbie_linux-mandrake_com&restrict=&exclude=&words=MVC-CD250 That took about 2 seconds. Right-click the links, do a save target as, and you're looking at a couple minutes tops. Even on dial-up that shouldn't break the bank. BTW, it's not Mandrake that doesn't support email querying of the archives, it's the mailing list manager, Sympa, that doesn't support it. Also, have you tried usenet? If you can go online to get the headers, then go offline, and go back on the get only the messages you want. I applaud you for making the effort to use the archives! Todd
