Ah, perhaps I misunderstood - if you're able to do this Rick I think 
that's excellent - xs4all.nl already has some connection to SDIY so it 
would keep things closer to home :)

Cool :)

I think this should be doable, just may require some deeper assistance 
or level of access to export the archive from the old list-serv and then 
import it into the new one.

As a fallback we could, I think, grab the existing archive and just have 
it as a static webpage somewhere - I think the archives are stored in 
the host filesystem rather than generated on the fly.

Cheers,
Hugh
