questions@: > find 200 back issues There's another very useful way fetch back issues for importation into your favorite mail client for reading and searching... rsync -nHaxi bit0.us-west.freebsd.org::FreeBSD-mailarchive/ Mail from the new MMLMJ service isn't appearing there yet, but the admins are aware of the need to make that part of the migration happen too. These full raw archives docs in mbox form are a very useful resource for new users to sync and import all the history into their mail clients for reading the back conversations of the lists they like, enabling full text search using their favorite local mail client search tools for threads and strings of interest, debugging, etc. Users can even, in conjunction with paths configured in their mail client, sync the entire hier of all lists of interest, thus having say a monthly or weekly sync appear automagically in their mail client for casual reading without needing to tediously subscribe to and manage all the lists of interest or depend on mail delivery problems. Those of you who are command line, script oriented, and text tool based could also appreciate this form of mail / rsync flexibility. It's also a great base for people to import into new public facing mail search services, or if they are using testing or developing mail search engines that users could end up using, even being integrated into the freebsd website someday. Webside mail search engine development has been fairly limited accuracy and capability, lots of opportunity. And more instances of the text of archives being run and indexed by the big search engines will bring more search hits to FreeBSD over time :)
