You can get free email accounts all over the place now of course, which is
one solution to this. And I can see where spam might be a problem, although
to date, I've really never had much of problem. Once in a while something
comes through. And since I'm not at all cautious about leaving my email
address around the planet, I don't understand why I don't get more, while
Mark Wyatt is apparently on every porn mailer in the U.S. and Denmark.
But the original question was is there a searchable archive. Can the
archive at U.Washington be easily searched by topic or key word or some
combination of key words?
