I first found the message searching my PC email folder, I got the
date of that message , then went to yahoo groups web page and
manually selected messages by # number until I got one close to
the date. Then I could use next/prev buttons to look for exact
the message I was searching.
I don't know why they don't allow full archive searching via the
web site. I didn't have a problems with matching first 250 posts,
it simply didn't find anything with the string I entered. Try
using the search and I bet you cannot get it to show anything in
the year 2003 for example.
