mailman to TWiki archival - tech comment

There are many links on this page to articles in the mailman archive. In the experience of NewImc, sometimes, maybe once in 12 months or so, the mailman archives get renumbered, and TWiki links to numbered articles become links to random articles.

Tech people have recommended copying emails to the TWiki - there's certainly no problem in disk space for cutting/pasting text.

Here is the style started at NewImc:

• NewImc030826a
  • list name new-imc becomes NewImc
  • date as YYMMDDx where x is a letter since there might be several emails worth archiving from the same day
  • use <pre> here's the main text </pre> to show the email in original form
  • edit any long lines by adding enter (return) characters, otherwise <pre> will force a very wide screen
  • before the <pre>, put the http link, which will probably still be valid for a long time
  • a link back to the referring page is nice, like << NewImc
