Subject: [ih] usable archive of list
Message-ID: <m261iyq641.wl%randy@psg.com>

for a paper, i need to find some old messages i remember from this list.
the archive at isi/postel.org is the useless default mailman form,
chopped up into months.  like good luck searching that.  i would be
happy with a total zip, tarball, or whatever.  i do not need sexy
indexing, i have a well-scaled mua.  does anyone have a usable archive
of this list?

<doh>  never mind.  <blush>

{{{
    #!/bin/sh

}}}

one small problem.  the archive did not preserve even the mail headers,
e.g., note the missing To:

{{{
    From feinler at earthlink.net  Tue Mar 30 10:12:29 2010
    From: feinler at earthlink.net (Elizabeth Feinler)

}}}

and another.  does someone know how to decode jake feinler's

looks like Google crawls the archive - you could always add 
"site:mailman.postel.org/pipermail/internet-history/" to some google 
search terms

First two letters of the file are "PK", which are the signature for
".zip" files. So just "mv HistoryoftheTLDs.bin HistoryoftheTLDs.zip",
and open with your favourite archiver.

on a mac, you can just open it and it uncompresses.  my issue is with
the resulting uncompressed content.  from some of the dir names, i think
it is some sort of ms word doc.

aha!  libre office can open the .bin!  sorry.  i am slow today.

Randy,

it would be better if you just RENAME (or add the original file extension)
  ".docx"  to this ".bin" file.
then you'll be able to open it with any Office suite (libre, open, MS...)
greetings from sunny Barcelona.

I renamed to HistoryoftheTLDs.odt and a plain open did just that in
NeoOffice which I use on the Mac for OO/LibreOffice.
