[DeTomaso] Listserver archives

Hi all,
I've been having some issues trying to manage the list server  
archives.  As some of you recall, the list was started back in about  
1998 and was hosted using an older majordomo email system.  In  
mid-2001 it was then setup on Mailman, a different mass emailing  
system.  This caused us to break the archives into two distinct  
sections, the older pre-July 2001 and post-July 2001.

I have created new links so you can get to both of them from the  
DeTomaso list information page, and menu items on the POCA.com web site.

One issue that has been perplexing is the archives from July 2001 to  
January 2007.  Due to changes over the years, the actual mailbox file  
no longer has those messages but they -are- archived.  Changes in how  
Mailman archives messages has caused me a bit of consternation the  
last couple of days but I think I have it sorted out now so that all  
July 2001 to January 2007 messages now appear in the archive listing.   
Hopefully they don't disappear again as they have on me twice now  
after making changes.

It's all there, the archives -are- safe, it's just a matter of how to  
display them and keep the index up.  I think I found the issue this  
morning; we'll see.

There is probably more cleanup to do yet and I'll see what I can do as  
I have time.  Today is most likely the last day I'll have to work on  
anything server related for the next week.

And if you are a command-line Linux guru, the POCA IT team could  
probably use your help.
