You can look in the archices on www.postgresql.org for Jan-Feb-Mar 2000. Unfortunately, the search engine is down, and the overview by index and date only has the last week of each month, so your only option right now is to take the mbox format and wade through it.

I just checked now, and other then being slower then it was (am
investigating that), it just returned results for me ... we are havign a
problem that is under investigation where the postmaster freezes up for no
apparent reason, requiring a manual restart, so its possible that you got
caught by that :(

I'm trying a search and after a couple of minutes I still haven't received a reply. Did you remember to vacuum the dabasase? :-) OK, now I got an answer, but what about the second problem, that if you go to the hackers mailing list and select by index or by thread, you only get the last week of each month? -- Kaare Rasmussen --Linux, spil,-- Tlf: 3816 2582 Kaki Data tshirts, merchandize Fax: 3816 2582 Howitzvej 75 �ben 14.00-18.00 Email: kar@webline.dk 2000 Frederiksberg L�rdag 11.00-17.00 Web: www.suse.dk

As I mentioned to someone else recently, you might want to check out that
