Hi Scott,
A warning message (from Yahoo!) has just shown up on my screen. It says "Warning! Your group has exceeded its message storage limits of 64 MB by 0.0 MB. If you don't remove messages, older messages will be deleted to make room for new ones.". It might be the reason. I first noticed that last week when I saw "Using 64.0 of 64 MB (100%)" on the top right/bottom right of the group's messages page at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/squeak/messages. It is funny you can still see that warning there... Cheers,
Antonio Barros

I noticed that the Yahoo archive of the Squeak mailing list (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/squeak/) has been trimmed so that everything before December 2001 seemingly is no longer accessible.
Does anyone know why this happened, and how we can get the history restored, and how we can avoid this happening again in the future?

Folks,
There's also the archive at: http://macos.tuwien.ac.at:9009/Server.home
which is up to the minute, searchable, does a good job of showing threads, and (good for dial-up users) is about a thousand times faster than yahoo.
The downside? Messages are only kept for 400 days, and you have to decode mail attachments yourself.
The accompanying website appears not to have been updated for a few years, and I don't know if the archive's author, Georg Gollmann, is still actively involved with Squeak, but if we're interested in having a full archive available online, this would seem like a good starting point.
