NEWS AND NOTES FROM ROOTSWEB

THREADED LIST ARCHIVES ARE NOW AVAILABLE. Now you can read
122,813 messages from 877 mailing lists using your Web browser by
visiting <http://archiver.rootsweb.com/>;. All those messages are
from just three months of beta tests -- watch this archives grow
with its public debut.

This is a remarkably comfortable way to browse through the posts
that have been made to the lists. Be sure to use the integrated
search engine to find what you are looking for.

To use the Archiver you will need to pick a user name and
password and you will need to accept a cookie. The reason for
passwords and cookies is to keep spammers' e-mail address
harvesters *out* of the archives. Because of this password-and-
cookie feature, listowners can set up lists to be archived with
confidence that they are *not* exposing posters' addresses to
spammers. We encourage all RootsWeb listowners to visit the
Archiver and then include their lists in the archives.

The next step is to start making old list messages available.

Thanks to Marc Nozell for implementing the threaded archives.
It's great work.
