The Smartgroup archives=20 > will not be affected by that If past experiance is anything to go by, such as with my riscos-graphicscards list, once the it has not received any posts for around 90 days smartgroups will delete it without even warning the owner. But as their ability to deliver emails is so poor, I might still be told about it in a few months time. However, I am sure that before that time, JWB will have made arrangements to archive all the existing posts and make them available in some form or other. > Your above question was posted to the Smartgroup instead of to the new=20 > list - was that deliberate? [reply sent to the freelists.org list] To make the process of archiving the old list easier, it is best for everyone to start using the new list now, and not post or cc to the old one.
