Listowners,
Some of you may still be unaware of this announcement that came through this week's
Rootsweb Review.
We are very excited about providing this new service to all Rootsweb mailing lists and
strongly encourage that you take advantage of it for your mailing list.
On Thursday alone there were over 168,000 hits on the website and since then the number of
archived messages have surpassed 152,607 with the the number of mailing lists have growing
to 1,220!

NEWS AND NOTES FROM ROOTSWEB
THREADED LIST ARCHIVES ARE NOW AVAILABLE. Now you can read 122,813 messages from 877
mailing lists using your Web browser by visiting <
http://archiver.rootsweb.com/>.
All those messages are from just three months of beta tests-watch this archives grow with
its public debut.
This is a remarkably comfortable way to browse through the posts that have been made to
the lists. Be sure to use the integrated search engine to find what you are looking for.
To use the Archiver you will need to pick a user name and password and you will need to
accept a cookie. The reason for passwords and cookies is to keep spammers' e-mail
address harvesters *out* of the archives. Because of this password-and-cookie feature,
listowners can set up lists to be archived with confidence that they are *not* exposing
posters' addresses to spammers. We encourage all RootsWeb listowners to visit the
Archiver and then include their lists in the archives.
The next step is to start making old list messages available.
Thanks to Marc Nozell for implementing the threaded archives.
It's great work.
