Re: Web-searchable list archives



Thanks, JohnM :)
 
After I had posted the link, I tinkered with it some more and got back all of the mail formatting including HTML. The drawback was that the threading wasn't quite as precise as the other conversion tool I had used, but I think this is a better tradeoff. Future additions to the archive should have proper formatting AND threading (I hope!). 
 
I agree that Reply's can be less verbose. I'm as guilty as anyone of being a bit lazy about that - partly because I am lazy when going back to read an old thread. :)
 
Happy New Year everyone! 
Tim

Tim,
the archive is great - even too great. I will have to restrict my urge for flippancy because everything will show up for posteriority...
 
Also: I would recommend more care about the "Reply" button
and restrict the prior blah-blah to only the relevant previous post(s).
With such accurate archive-files it is not necessary to repeat an
entire thread (relevant or not) all the time when one adds only a quip.
Is there a proviso for search according to names? that would be
even more scary (but very useful).
 
For starters: I leave here only your post to which I reply.
 
Happy 2004 to you and all
 
John M
