Two suggestions to improve the usability of the zsh web page:
1) Put the NEWS file on the web. Helps a lot in finding out if
you want to upgrade.
2) It would be nice if you could download the mailing list
archive in mail box format. Since I'm not subscribed to the
list I can't easily reply to any postings - I have to copy and
paste the text into my mailer. Being able to access the mails
in standard mailbox format would help a lot.
Bye

You can get them from http://www.zsh.org/mla/zsh-{uers,workers}/<number>
if they are young enough. Older ones get tar-gzipped in blocks of
hundred messages in the same directory.

I've now put this on. I couldn't call the page News because that
is already taken so I called it "Release Notes". Let me know if
you have any better suggestions.
If I get around to it, I'll also add a features page with a table
comparing the various shells along the lines of what Felix was
asking for recently. Unless anyone else wants to volunteer?
Also on the subject of the web pages, can anyone convert the
favicon from a .png to a .ico without losing the transparency
(so that IE users get to see it and not just Mozilla users)? Or
can .ico only handle on-off transparency? Also, if anyone with
greater imagination or artistic talent than me wants to design
a better icon then please do so. For the benefit of anyone who
doesn't know what favicons are, they are just little images
that appear in the url bar or bookmarks list. IE finds them
by looking for favicon.ico on every web page it accesses (yuk)
while Mozilla uses a <link> tag. I've just used a blue `Z' on
the zsh web pages.

I think it's just fine the way it is now.

.ico files have a single bitplane of transparency, so it's on/off. I
use ppmtowinicon (part of netpbm) to generate my favicons; it lets you
specify a transparency bitmask.

Um, I tried that, but I can't figure out the correct message ids
and I can't get a directory listing.

Huh? Message-IDs are those from the X-Seq: header field.

Ah, I see. Unfortunately, you can't see that header in the
mailing list archive.
