Frank,

This I understand.

I use pine. I receive about 100 messages a day.
I look at them, and decide, which to save, which to delete and
which to reply immediately and then delete or store.

Sometimes it happens that I read a message and delete it.
Next day (or few hours later, or next week) I decide to refer to it.
In this case I have to cite by memory if the message was not saved.
This was the case with this particular message of Bill.

In the past, on Nav-L, I would go to the web archive in such case,
find the message, and cite it precisely.
I understand that this is theoretically possible with new archiv as well,
but requires more labor, that's why I don't usually do it.

Of course, an alternative would be to store all messages from the list,
but there are too many of them, and I do not know how to search through
them
conveniently. The old Nav-L had a nice feature permitting me
to sort the messages according to 3 or 4 parameters, and now this nice
feature is lost.

But it seems that I am only one member of the list who experiences
this inconvenience, so I do not want to start this discussion again.

Alex.
