I was going to reply that "at least we still have the originals of messages since the changeover, to which a link appears at the bottom of each displayed message called 'Original text of this message', for when better list software - or at least, better archiving software - is found." But in view of recent foot-shooting, I checked first, and just as well. Today, every message from changeover in October 2021, that link fails (404) until a rough manual binary search first finds a working original text link: https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-questions/2022-November/002376.html ... posted on 25 Nov 22, ie inside ~4 months. Let's hope they're still saved somewhere, if there's some reason we may no longer refer to them. Only a week or so ago I looked at one of mine from last year to check headers, so this further regression appears recent. Are we really out of diskspace?
