Peter and I did some testing on the search capabilities at our new server. I turns out that the search works on the actual text of the message, not just the subject line. We put in the word instincto and found that it gave a pointer to every message that had instincto in it and displayed a couple of lines in the message containing the word. Try it. The URL is http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/raw-food.html It also possible to get the archives for any month/year and to do archive searches by send e-mail requests to LISTSERV. To get a month send GET RAW-FOOD LOGyymm e.g. LOG9707 For help on e-mail searches sent GET RAW-FOOD DBSEARCH This will explain how to. I haven't tried this yet and the www search is so easy that I prefer using this method. We have all of the archives from bolis edited and ready for transfer. I have requested some set up from our new server and will put them up as soon as this is complete. David Karas raw-food list owner
