<P><FONT SIZE=2>Ned's right about the back-end for the current BFAV.<BR>
<BR>
The BFAV2 server does what Scott wants, I think. I don't have the BFAV2 client ready yet, but you can take a look at <A HREF="http://bfav.squeakfoundation.org/listing">http://bfav.squeakfoundation.org/listing</A> to see which messages are coming into the BFAV2 archive.<BR>
<BR>
Cheers,<BR>

Actually, it's not the BFAV's fault; it's the SQFIXES mailaction that records<BR>
the traffic from the list.<BR>
<BR>
Originally, it just was collecting the heads of threads (original postings of<BR>
BUG, FIX, ANN, etc.).<BR>
<BR>
When the BFAV was created, the decision was made to use the SQFIXES archive as<BR>
a source, and so the BFAV is careful not to prepend anything before the first<BR>
"[" in the subject.<BR>
