I have most postings since I subscribe, a year long ago. Most of them
.zipped... (a 40 MBytes .zip file including other lists and personal
messages) Unfortunately most are not all, and probably some of them have
lost part of the headings when translating from Outlook to Outlook Express
to Netscape Messanger and back to Outlook Express.
Any how I'm moving soon and I'm not sure if at the new location I'll have my
current or any ISP.
