Heh, and the message link has indeed updated to my latest email. Can
we call this the never-ending march?

At least we don't have AOL...

The archives don't seem to be archiving since the move.  Messages appear momentarily in the archive and then disappear a minute later.  Not very archive like.  I hope this isn't difficult to fix because the list's archives are a treasure trove of good ideas and it would be a shame if they evaporated.
