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 these 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.
