zsh-users HTML archive, on the other hand, appears to be up to date.

Confirmed. There are several other issues me has identified, as well:

 0) /workers/${n} now redirect to non-existent files.
 1) ftp.zsh.org:/mla/ is referenced from /index.html, but does not
    actually exist.

Please fix. Especially 0) bothers me, for me does not like to have to
resort to browsing HTML poop just to read an e-mail msg.

To me: the HTML archive *is* expendable; /workers/ is not. But that's
just liek, me opinion, {{,wo}man,...}.

Ack.

There's at least one known issue with a fix written and pending
deployment when one of the admins has time to do so.  That should fix
some of the problems if not all of them.

That is expected to redirect to the msg${number}.html file if it exists,
otherwise to the raw rfc822 file *for the messages since the last
multiple-of-100 X-Seq value only*.  That's because the script's fallback
codepath doesn't know how to dynamically extract older messages from the
hectomessage ${X-Seq value mod 100}xx.tar.gz files.  Patches welcome.

We'll look into it, thanks.

The rfc822 archives are still publicly available via «rsync.zsh.org::».

The bottom line here is that we're waiting for one of the volunteer
admins to find time to handle this.  That's Phil, Oliver, and I.  Help
would be welcome.

Cheers,

First, the archive is up to date again.  Kudos to Oliver.

One low hanging fruit is to get our three lists into third party
archives, such as mail-archive.com, so there'll be a backup if zsh.org
http or email service is down.  I have already emailed mail-archive in
April but I don't seem to have made it past their spam filter.  Anyone
who takes it from here will have our thanks.  The list admins are over
at zsh-infra@ if we are needed.

Thanks, and apologies for the late answer.

Daniel

Me's just sent such a request to MARC[0]. Let's hope the response will
be favourable.
