Hello, everyone...

Archives:
  I keep seeing everyone post about needing historical posts.  I have an
archive of the Admin list back through 13 Sept 1999.  I also have an arch=
ive
of the Database (digest form) list back through 9 Feb 2000.  However, the=
se
posts are stuck in an Outlook inbox, and I _suck_ at OLE programming. =

Therefore, I have no reasonable way to extract them (There is no way I am=

going to manually extract every message!).  If someone will post *working=
*
code to extract messages from a sub-folder in Outlook, I would be most ha=
ppy
to extract and either post on my website, or send the lot to ActiveState,=
 for
inclusion in the archives.

  If you want to do it, I do have a few parameters:  =

    Only the following should be extracted:
     Sender
     Subject
     Date
     Message
     (i.e.:  No one really needs to see what my subscribe email address i=
s,
nor do they want to wade through all the SMTP headers, right?)
    Save each message as a separate text file, I will zip them up and mak=
e
available via one of methods I stated above.  Don't forget, there are a f=
ew
schmucks who post using HTML and/or Rich Text, it's up to the code poster=
 to
(not) extract the tags.
    Taglines:  The older messages have an ActiveState tagline starting wi=
th
"\n\n---\n", and the newer messages have a tagline of
"\n\n_______________________________________________\n".  Extra points fo=
r
killing the tagline.

(Un)Subscribing
  For those that would care to know, the first message every subscriber
receives is the List Charter.  Two of the first 10 lines in this message =
are
as follows:

***Save this message for future reference***
** Charter for Perl-Win32 Mailing Lists **

  That first line is pretty important, as the message details what the li=
st is
for, how to use it, and how to change your subscription options.  I have
included section "4.0 list Processor Commands" below my signature, please=
 read
this if you are considering unsubscribing.  I am sure that everyone else =
is
just as amused/bemused/irratated as I am about all the "Unsubscribe me"
messages being posted to the list lately.
