It goes back to early 1997. His archive is in a unix mailbox format, 
basically plain text with messages separated by ^A^A^A^A. It's not 
necessarily easy to find anything in particular you're looking for in 
there.  Unix people can grep the files; I don't know  what mac or 
windows people would do.

My proposed zip packages would each be a collection of HTML files and 
indexes to allow browsing them by thread, date, or author.  Much like 
what's at james' page, only they'd have all the messages going back to 
early 1997 and they'd be for offline browsing.
