Yes, but does anyone here actually save every message? I delete
everything that's not of interest to me in the present. This doesn't
help me for the future, though, so chances are slim I'd be able to
search my personal archives for references to a previously unknown device.
And speaking of backup, is it relevant to this discussion to know
exactly how the mailing list archives are backed-up and/or mirrored?
