Well, I keep the archives and they're not digested. Perhaps you already know that you can type G a in the group buffer to get a newsgroup containing the last 500 articles from this list, or C-u G a to get the _entire_ archive. WARNING: that's currently over 7000 articles and the overview is 1.4MB. It's probably pretty useless at this point, but then info that old is probably useless, too. Whatever happened to the proposal to allow nnml folders to contain several subdirectories? You can also get the stuff as a single tar file; just get the (non-existant) file ding-list-recent.tar.gz or ding-list.tar.gz from ftp.hpc.uh.edu:/pub/emacs. The second will still be huge (~13MB). If it would be of any use to anyone, I may be persuaded to batch up monthly chunks but I probably won't make them into digests unless someone provides a quick script to do so. - J<
