[MD] Are the archives in good shape?

[Horse]

Hi Ian

This is something that's been bugging me for quite a while now. As David 
says, we have a number of archives from different list managers and the 
earlier archives are not currently in a state that will easily 
facilitate searching etc.
It would be good to get the archives into a searchable format and as 
David has made a start on this I'll contact him off-list and see what he 
has in mind.

Cheers


Horse
