(You can ignore everything in the headers and in the first
three columns in the body. The information you are interested
in is in the last column. There are three pieces of information
in this 4th column: 1) the file size; 2) the date of the archive
file; 3) the file number.)
(Example: For the archive file of all messages received
by the List on the 3rd of June, it is 7,293 bytes in size and
its number is 6.)
Looking at the dates of the digest, you determine that you
want messages 8 through 16 (June 5 through June 19). The
file number is the last entry on each line.
Send a new message to:
[email protected]
In the subject, type:
archive
In the body, type:
get volume97/8 volume97/9 volume97/1?
where "?" is a UNIX wild-card meaning "any character";
"1?" will expand to 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19.
You should get back all of those files as individual messages.
For another List, substitute its name for "HARRISON".
