Note: it turns out that there *is* still a way to search the post-RMGATE archives using email, but it requires a bit of waiting and some software that not everyone has. Basically, the messages older than a month or so are rolled into a series of Unix "TAR" files which are in turn GZIP'd. If you have the software to unzip and extract the components, you can send for all the archives and search through them on your home computer at your leisure. Just email to blanchard-L-request@rootsweb.com (not -D-) with a subject of "archive" and a text of "send save*" (without the quotes). You will get the binary files encoded via MIME, and you can take it from there. John
