The problem is not that it is big, but that it contains *all* incoming mail (squeak-dev, squeakland, privat, spam, cronreports). Yeah, very intelligent ;-) But Martin McClure's archive seems to be easier accessible and contains even older mails, so he saved me from sorting all that stuff... (Thanks!)
BTW, if there's some stuff missing I still have an archive that starts out with a message saying:
From Majordomo@create.ucsb.edu Thu Nov 28 01:06:02 1901 Date: Thu, 28 Nov 96 01:56:52 PST To: raab@isg_nw.cs.Uni-Magdeburg.DE Subject: Welcome to squeak
So we should be able to get a pretty complete archive if we wanted to ;-)
Cheers, - Andreas
