Mails of this mailing list

[Patrick Gundlach]

Dear ConTeXters,

I am still looking for the first emails of this list. The archive on
http://archive.contextgarden.net is missing the first half year. If
there is anybody out there (Tobias? Slavek?) who has them, please email
me off list. Your help is *greatly* appreciated.

Not anymore! Something to celebrate: the archive looks complete now -
thanks Hans!

(not that it is of any practical use - it just feels good :-))

BTW: the first message is dated 1997-08-22 19:06 +200 and it is about
footnotes/endnotes

Actually, digging into the archives has been pretty handy. Any chance of
getting an mbox of the archive that I can import into my MUA? Mailman
only has from ~2002.

I'm finding it very entertaining and somewhat informative. There are some
interesting gems in there:

I sure wish it could be true, but today it seems as difficult as ever!

It may help if we make some choices and stick to the encodings that make most 
sense: texnansi, qx, t5, uc, (+the new one adam and i are discussing), a main 
greek and a main cyrillic one.
