Hi,

Yes, yahoo and hotmail are the playgrounds of spammers, and many anonymous people who like to abuse the Internet. No surprize there.

My ISP provides email scanning for virus and spam, and it labels all hotmail account email as potential spam.

If I had the "flush spam" feature engaged I would never see mail from hotmail accounts. As it stands, I only earmark spam with a tag. The tag allows me to dump it into a secondary "inbox" of low priority.

Later,
Tom

I just double-checked, and yes clicking the archive link in either a
yahoo-mail account or Hotmail yields "page not available".

I barely follow Pete's instructions, below, but does that mean accessing
archive pages currently takes lots of computer time & fuss? Is this the new
method, or will it be easier in the near future. (My NAFEX notes are a mix
of paper & computer notes, but mostly a hand-written list of archive dates &
message names, organized by topic, to refer to archive when I need it.)

I wonder if this has something to do with the nabble.com spidering we
got at around the same timeframe? ibiblio may have added more security
to the archives to prevent automated intrusion.
