In-Reply-To: Message from Ralph Corderoy of "Mon, 18 Feb 2002 14:43:20 GMT." From: Scott Schwartz Date: Mon, 18 Feb 2002 20:52:18 -0500 Topicbox-Message-UUID: 525c3382-eaca-11e9-9e20-41e7f4b1d025 | Jon Snader made me aware that Rob had posted -mpm-related material. I | read comp.os.plan9 and didn't see the post. Google Groups has it | without the attachments. The funny thing about the message rob sent was that the attachment was labeled as being of type message/rfc822, when in fact it was not. This confused mh, and I wouldn't be surprised if other things were confused too. | It's pointless having an archive for a public list hidden behind HTTPS, | and in addition demanding recent encryption algorithms. Anyone got a | public archive of the list? I agree, and I've complained to the people who run lists.cse.psu.edu, but to no avail. Because of that, I mirror the archives at http://bio.cse.psu.edu/~schwartz/9fans/ There are three sets of files there. The ones of the form 9fans.nnnnnn.* are from the days when Majordomo ran the list. The ones of the form nnnn-Month.* are since Mailman (spit!) took over. To work around a bug in Mailman, whereby all the "From:" lines are totally wrong, I also mirror a copy of 9fans.mbox.bz2, which is the raw submissions to the list. | I suspect that the web server at lists.cse.psu.edu has been | configured to not accept export-grade cryptography. It's configured to be retarded, that's all. See, like all broken software, Mailman relies on sending cleartext passwords across the net. So you have to hide the cleartext in cryptographic tunnels.
