Обсуждение: Mailing list archive feature request
I occasionally find I want to add more to a thread after I have deleted all of my copies of messages in that thread. While I can get the subject and bodies of a message from the archives, it would be convenient to be able to get a copy of a message resent to me, so that new messages I add to the thread will have the appropiate references headers.

That's a tough one. The only idea I have is to download the actual email message from the archives site, then point your email client at that file and have it read it as a mailbox. You can then reply to the email you want. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073

You can then reply to the email > you want. I forgot about the raw message archives. I was looking at the Mhonarch stuff. I did notice that some headers are recorded in the web pages in a way that isn't visible unless you look at the source. I was able to get what I think was a correct message ID this way. Though editing the html out of the message was a pain. I just took a look and didn't see an obvious link to the raw archives, but I seem to remember seeing them in the past (though I might be remembering something from another open source project). I will also look to see if the mailing list manager has a way to get old messages. I had forgotten about that possibility. Thanks.
You may also want to see if the thread was covered in one of my items on General Bits. (http://www.varlena.com/GeneralBits). If you have a correction to something I've published, I'd surely like to see and publish it. Also, since my column is weekly, it is possible I've not yet published information about a thread. If you want to suggest that I cover a specific thread with clarification, I encourage you to suggest that to me.

For the benefit of anyone else who cares this is how you do things: All messages are sent to majordomo@postgresql.org . All commands are in the body of the messages. The subject isn't used. First you need to get your password. If you don't have it send the command password-show And reply to the confirmation message with the body of the reply being "accept". To get an index of messages in the archive you use the archive-index command. You might do something like: approve my_password archive-index pgsql-sql 20030109 to get a summary of messages sent from the list on 2003-01-09. Then to get particular messages you use the archive-get command. For example: approve my_password archive-get pgsql-sql 200301/143 could be used to get the 143rd message sent from the list in January of 2003. Both a confirmation and a copy of the message are sent separately, so that the list message will be handled normal by your mail filters.

After this, use falmail + procmail to get it into your folders... Michelle
