By all appearances, 9fans mail is flowing through Topicbox now.

The 9fans archives  now hosted at
Topicbox contain all the messages
formerly at 9fans.net/archive (before that machine went down), dating
all the way back to July 1993. For fun, here's my first mail to 9fans

.

Thanks very much to Calvin Morrison and the Topicbox team for their help!
I'm quite excited to have 9fans running on a properly maintained system
after all this time.

Best,
Russ

This is missing the dozen or so messages from the beginning of the
mailing list in April 1993. I have them in mbox format if you are
interested in adding them to your archive.

Also, the following messages in the Topicbox archive are duplicates.
They are identical except for an empty "Cc" header on the first one.

https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/Td304f708de7d8d92-M42f72ee9d5148680750dc274/9fans-attention-new-list-address
https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/Td304f708de7d8d92-Mc7db8bc68d73a0e7bf287d33/9fans-attention-new-list-address

This was the first message after the switch from psu.edu to 9fans.net.

Just checking edge cases. ☺

Re: [9fans] Re: moving 9fans to new server, but still 9fans@9fans.net

2019-10-11 Thread hiro 
i received a lot of html here.

in addition to the original html sent by the authors there is now even
more html stuff, e.g. those footers:
 9fans / 9fans / see discussions + participants + delivery options
Permalink

there's also a plaintext version of this, adding 5 lines to every
email. all this seems quite redundent if you ask me.

personally i don't think it matters what software is used to host it
as long as it works reliably. since i registered on 9fans, russ did a
very good job with mail, thanks a lot for that - i only still miss
those web services you had on your website, russ! :))

And it's all in duplicated in the headers.
Can it be turned off?

There's no html in your mail, at least.  

As for the footer, I'm sure I'll be glad to have the permalink in every email, 
and it's not in the headers.

I'm not commenting on the size of the headers though. :)

btw. even though i dislike the links in the content of the message i
like the idea of this header to make the mail accessible in a global
namespace. and wondering if this is the case on any other mailing
lists or only a topicbox-internal standard...

Ah, then there's a deficiency in both the standard and my mail client. I see 
this in the headers:

Quite right. RFC2369 describes most of the standard headers you'll be used to. 
However, I'm not aware of a permalink to web archives for each individual post.
