The best would be not to rely on yahoo for the archive. There
is a nice archive at the squeakfoundation site: 
http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/

This is even nicely searchable with google. 
(if you add "site:lists.squeakfoundation.org"  the query  gets restricted
to the list-archives). Of course it takes some weeks for google to index
the latest posts.

The problem is that the archive contains only posts starting from 6/2001.

We should really try to have a *complete* archive of the Squeak
Mailinglist... did anyone save all messages? I have archived all
incoming email starting from sometime in 1999, I could dig out
all Squak-dev messages from that point on. But it would be interesting
to have all the older posts, too.
