Hi,

thank you for the for explanation.

Interesting, some months ago I wanted to lookup something in the archive and couldn't access it, so I assumed since then that the archive is not publicly available.
Was maybe some hickup or temporary issue...

Well, that explains it then..

Thanks and kind regards!

Just checked my spam-folder and what do I see? a mail from janisa@onertronics.com to my wireguard mail-address which I use only for this mailinglist. So I guess janisa@onertronics.com is collecting mail-addresses here and then sending unwanted spam-mails.
