Table of Contents
The List Archives page allows you to gain access to the web-viewable archives for a specific mailing list, assuming the list has archives and the archives are configured to be viewable to subscribers with your subscription type. Links are presented that allow you to view the archives indexed by date, thread, author or subject. View an individual message and click available links to respond to that message or send a new message.
Note
If you are new to a mailing list, visiting the archives is a good way to familiarize yourself with the kinds of subjects that have been discussed on the list. It is considered good Netiquette to check the archives before introducing a subject to see whether the subject has already been covered in past discussions.
Gain access to archived messages indexed by date, thread, author or subject.
View an individual message and respond to that message or send a new one.
Click the indexing tool to select the way you would like the archives to be displayed, then click the link for an individual message to have the message view displayed. Through the message view you can view an individual message, click a link to respond to that message and have your new message added to that thread, or click a link to send an email to initiate a new subject.
- Indexing tools:
-
The List Archive page offers four different options for viewing this mailing list's archives. Whichever option you select, the archives are always displayed by month. If you have not already selected a month, the archive for the most recent month will be displayed. If you navigate to the archives for a different month, then click one of the indexing tools, the Kavi Mailing List Manager will reindex and redisplay the archives for the month you've selected. To navigate to archives for other months, click 'Previous Month' or 'Next Month'.
- Dates
-
When you click the Dates tool link, archived messages will be displayed in descending order by date, so that the most recent message for the month is at the top.
Click the subject link to go to the message view.
- Threads
-
When you click the Threads tool link, archived messages will be indexed by thread. A thread is a group of messages that all share the same subject. The first message in the thread is displayed at the top of the 'Messages by Thread' box, followed by other messages in the thread, ordered by date.
Click the subject link to go to the message view.
Note
This view does not necessarily present a complete set of all messages in the archives because a thread is composed of a minimum of two messages, so messages that have not received a reply do not appear in the threads index.
- Authors
-
When you click the Authors tool link, archived messages will be indexed by the author's username (in alphabetical order). Messages listed by author are sorted by descending date, so that the most recent message from an author will appear first on the page.
Click the subject link to go to the message view.
- Subjects
-
When you click the Subjects tool link, archived messages will be indexed by subject.
Click the author's name link to go to the message view.
- Message view
-
The message view displays information about an individual message, including the message header information such as the To: and From: fields, the date of the email, plus the contents (i.e. body) of the email message. Click the Reply to this message link to send an email in response to this message and have your new message added to this thread, or click the Send new message link to send an email on a new subject to this mailing list.
Links that allow you to navigate to other messages in the archives by thread or date are displayed.
