If you have a few emails from the lists prior to that you find
yourself often referring to, please feel free to forward these
round the list again so they're archived for posterity.
That's a nice idea, but I think having all the archives already dumped
in there would be a lot more useful. Is there any technical (or
legal?) reason that prevents you from doing that?
They're unfortunately not consistently 100% of posts, but since you've
asked so nicely I think I've found a (nasty) way of porting what archive
data there, is with some testing on an offline site. I'm going to
attempt to finagle this on the production site now, or rather once I've
had a fortifying cup of tea and a hobnob. Note that the forum bridge is
going to be down until I complete this, so anything posted there won't
make it over. New posts to the list via email will stack up however and
should make it (barring the potential for one or two).
I will email against once this is complete, be it a success or failure.
Cheers
Jack
Thanks,
Ivan

back a couple of months, ie since the bridge element has been
running, and will build with time. If you have a few emails from

We'll be setting up links from the main site shortly.

Do not hit 'new' and copy and paste the subject over, as for
similar reasons to the last post the email will appear as a new
topic, rather than part of the previous topic's thread. An obvious
difficulty that arises here is for those of you that use the
mailing list's digest view. If possible, when you get a digest
mail you wish to respond to, do so via the web front end against
that particular thread, so as to preserve that thread's integrity.
