Howdy All... In playing with the search feature for the mailing list archives for TXBELL, I think several things I've read about the beta test for it seem to hold. At the main list of Mailing List Archives, TXBELL is not yet listed (nor are a lot of other mailing lists). I have added the *list* and *archiver* addresses to the mailing list, but it may take some time before the message pickups get represented in a threaded index. We haven't been active very long, and I haven't found a threaded index as yet for TXBELL. When you work with the query window, apparently you can put in anything that you'd expect to find in TXBELL messages and get many of them (I tried TXBELL and got 8 out of 12 to display... the word *and* couldn't be parsed.. the term *www* got some more messages... *LDS* returned a different mix.) I'd guess until TXBELL gets included in the threaded index experiment you have to kind of go with what you've got. Anyone had better luck with mailing list retrievals for TXBELL? Some of the lists that ARE threaded have a nice indexing thing going for them. The URL for the archives is: http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl I've noticed several other mailing lists I've just started subscribing to are not in the threaded index archives either. Well, it is a beta test! Bill Bost TXBELL Listowner ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
