Rootsweb has started a new service for mailing lists http://archiver.rootsweb.com/NCSCOTS-L/ It allows you to browse the messages (in a somewhat threaded format) and do keyword searches. Messages are broken up into one month intervals for browsing purposes. A user name and password are required. This was necessary in order to keep out e-mail harvesting 'bots (spammers) from getting list members' addresses. Benson Wills listowner btw@usa.net
