Good morning, all.

I certainly agree that the archive is useful.

About the search capabilities - I can see how to search on text in the 
subject line, but I'm not so sure about a way to follow threads easily. 
I expect we would have to be able to sort the list for that.

However, one very useful feature is the ability to find out the year and 
month of any post, and a sequential number, just by allowing your mouse 
to hover over the lines of the archive page and watching the URLs appear 
at the bottom of your browser window. This tells me, for instance, that 
the first post in the archive was in March 2006:

http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/Environment/FNSN/MList/200603/1.html

and that the most recent one (before mine) is #7778:

http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/Environment/FNSN/MList/200708/7778.html

With what will surely be an expanding archive, this makes it fairly easy 
to locate a post from a certain month.


Well done, Doug.
