That's a good hint. Thanks. I'll concoct somehting local to make it a bit easier. One drawback is that it is in pipermail format and not the old style where you could read an entire thread using the scrollbar. Now its necessary to klik, klik, klik to read a thread. I've written Google to ask them to restore the old-style FreeBSD mailing list search. It was very efficient. Best regards, Randy --
