  I note that their FAQ says "Only the most recent 1000 messages are
available via date or thread indexes."  The list used to be hosted at (all
rise) <gnhlug at zk3.dec.com> (be seated).  It switched to
<gnhlug-discuss at mail.gnhlug.org> sometime in Aug 2002.  I suspect the old
list has rolled out of the indexes.

  The <mail-archive.com> FAQ implies that the mail is still there,
somewhere, but it is not apparent how one *gets* to it.

  Technically speaking, there isn't even a definitive GNHLUG.  :-)

  I expect the answer is "No".  ZK3 never archived GNHLUG mail.  
<archive at mail-archive.com> was added as a subscriber by a list member (I
forget who).  Various people have come forward with their own, personal
archives, and some of them were even regurgitated and fed into
<mail-archive.com> at one time, but that's about it.

  There is *an* archive at:

	http://mail.gnhlug.org/pipermail/gnhlug-discuss/

However, that only goes back to the birth of the current list.
