I wonder if some or all of the messages that have apparently gone missing from the Irbs archive failed to reach that destination because they were not sent in the desired format, eg; as Plain text. One from me entitled " Advancing a position circle" sent Sunday never got there; was not in Plain Text. Another with the same subject sent about an hour later, in Plain Text, did. If this is correct, then the remedy is fairly obvious. On the subject of archives, Frank has an alternative archive site up at http://www.fer3.com/arc/ but it doesn't seem to have recorded any messages at all in June. It would be a great pity if the promise of this additional archive is disappointed. Not least if it is capable of coping with more than just Plain Text.
