Dear everyone,

I (and presumably others) sorely miss the online HTML archive of this 
mailing list.  It's been missing almost all the messages for quite a 
while, as of today there's NOTHING in there, and presumable Dave Topper 
lacks either the time or the resources to fix it.  I've downloaded the 
archived messages from 
ftp://ftp.musique.umontreal.ca/pub/mirrors/dream/Csound_List_Archive/
... but it's just not the same. <:)
For one thing, I can't browse it easily; for another, the latest chunk 
of stuff in there seems to be Csound_99 which is sometime in May of 97.

I'd be willing to do some of the grunt work to try to put back together 
the HTML archive, if Dave T. or anyone else is willing to give it a home 
online.  I have a Perl utility called MHonArc which should allow me to 
automatically HTML-ize the messages and index them by date, thread, 
and/or author.

Here's the next problem: MHonArc is written to sort mailboxes or 
individual messages in "MH mail folders and UUCP/Unix mailbox files." It 
won't recognize the files I got from jpff's place which, according to 
"file", are MMDF mailbox files. MHonArc can't recognize these files.  I 
*think* I can figure out how to configure it to do so...

SO...

does anyone by any chance have any/all Csound mailing list messages 
stored in either mail types?
         --or--
know of a program which will do the same function for MMDF mailbox 
files?  --or-- convert MMDF files to MH or Unix mailbox files?
The last two points may be academic if I can get MHonArc to work with 
the MMDF format, I think it's just a question of specifying a different 
message separator type.

Anyone with useful info, please send it my way and I'll try to get this 
thing put back together...

Thanks,

PW
