Past postings:
Past postings to any of the groups are not archived here. However, you can find an archive from the NetBSD-Amiga list on ftp.uni-regensburg.de:/pub/NetBSD-Amiga/DOCS/Mailinglist-Archive. This directory contains all mails from the NetBSD-Amiga mailing-list, all mails of one month go into one file. The .Subject-files contain only the subject-lines of the corresponding month.
You can read the files using your favourite email-frontend. Just copy the file to /var/spool/mail/$USER (or /var/mail/$USER, or whatever) and start elm, emacs or anything else.
Policy:
Commodore Business Machines, Commodore International Limited, or any of it subsideraries neither cares, nor endorses this mailing list, the NetBSD project on the Amiga, or anything affiliated with this project (muchless even knows what NetBSD is, or what a mailing list is, for that matter). They are just nice enough to allocate some CPU and disk space for us, for which we are virtually grateful (just nod your head and smile, like when some is talking to you in a foreign language and you have no translator near).
