RE: PDML Long term Archive
Well - I can probably/possibly handle the conversion (I work for an ISP - I will speak with the guys in the email dept.!) If you could zip up your old folders I will try to FTP it over ?

Should be a piece of cake - Netscape uses standard Unix mbox format. Unzip it on a Linux box and you've got all sorts of utilities available.
Re: PDML Long term Archive
Email might be a problem. I think it would probably exceed my provider's limits. But FTP would probably be an option. I dont have any idea how big it would be zipped however. Its in netscape mail format, so I don't know how easy it would be to convert it to other formats. One other note is that its in pieces. I keep the current stuff in one chunk that I use daily, then the older stuff is kept in another folder for searching/reference. rg Robert Whitehouse wrote: Any idea how big your archive might be if zipped? - might it be emailed? -Original Message- From: Gonz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 12 September 2005 20:35 To: pentax-discuss@pdml.net Subject: Re: PDML Long term Archive I have my own personal archive in my mailer that goes back quite a ways, but I know there are some old timers here that go back to like 98 or maybe even earlier than that. rg Shel Belinkoff wrote: I thought it went back quite a ways.

Re: PDML Long term Archive
I have my own personal archive in my mailer that goes back quite a ways, but I know there are some old timers here that go back to like 98 or maybe even earlier than that. rg Shel Belinkoff wrote: I thought it went back quite a ways.

Re: PDML Long term Archive
While we're on the subject, and since it's 9/11 today, I have 9 digest posts from 9/11 in 2001 in case anyone wants to see them. Email me off list. Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=|http://www.cottysnaps.com _

It is surely a terrible waste if all the wonderful pearls of wisdom dispensed here over the years are not available in a searchable archive. Rob W This bothered me for some time until I realised that all PDML posts are kept but only the last 1000 are browsable. The rest have to be searched. You have to know what you are looking for and enter the term in the search engine. IIRC, on my browser, the "search" button is invisible. But if I click in the area where one should be, eventually I find it and off I go. 8-))) mike
Re: PDML Long term Archive
Hi Robert, some of us have personal archives going quite far back - I have archived more interesting posts (and sometimes just the whole mailbox) on PDML from back when I joined - 2000? 2001? It could be possible to put these together from a lot of the oldtimers here (and I joined quite early compared with some), and get an archive of the _keepers_ :-) Frantisek

PDML Long term Archive
Is there a decent archive for PDML? - I know about the one on mail-archive.com but this only seems to go back a few weeks. It is surely a terrible waste if all the wonderful pearls of wisdom dispensed here over the years are not available in a searchable archive. Rob W
