But some things annoyed me: - findmail provide only 9 from 32 (?) FreeBSD mailing lists - findmail search by default only in the last 500 messages, thats less than one week of freebsd-hackers traffic. The truth is in the old emails ;-) findmail.com is an good alternative, but not a replacement for our own mailing list archive. The mailing list archive is a major part of the FreeBSD Web Server. We should not give up control of this service. May be Microsoft will buy www.findmail.com? Microsoft bought so many Internet companies, why not findmail.com? -- Wolfram Schneider http://www.freebsd.org/~wosch/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-database" in the body of the message
