eScribe Rebol Archive vs rebol.org Archive

 [1/12] from: rsnell::webtrends::com at: 7-Sep-2000 17:36


A while back Ryan added this Rebol list to the eScribe site. This is my opinion on the better archive (so don't get mad anyone - it's just my opinion...) My suggestion to those wanting answers (and knowing you have seen it posted but can't remember when) is to first start with the eScribe archive. It is organized better, and its searches appear to be faster and more accurate than those on rebol.org. I just spent about a half hour on rebol.org looking for a post that had the password syntax for email addresses since I knew I'd seen that before (it's user:[pass--domain]). I never found it (and there are multiple ones). I found the same info on eScribe in less than a minute! The biggest disadvantage with eScribe is that it doesn't have messages older than July 6, 2000. However, Ryan, I noticed that the eScribe FAQ says you can import older messages into the system. Have you looked at doing this? This would be awesome if someone could make this happen. My 2 Cents. BTW, eScribe Rebol Archive is at: http://www.escribe.com/internet/rebol/ Thanks for putting that together Ryan! Rodney

Good idea. I will look into this, but someone at RT would have to help me out (unless there is some way to retrieve all old messages automatically?) -Ryan

Here is info from the FAQ... We currently support reading in past archives from the following formats: Eudora Outlook Express UNIX mail Pegaus Mail ListSTAR Listserv archives Majordomo digests Even if your archive is in a different format, we might be able to import it. The imported messages will look like any other messages, and will therefore also be searchable. OK. Can someone tell me how to get the entire archive? -Ryan

I've got back to Aug 1999 in Outlook Express if that helps. IMHO If you go back much further than that, there isn't much of relevance to v2.x of REBOL Cheers, Allen K

I think I have all rebol ml messages. The problem is - it's here and there, as I have changed computers and accessing net from home and from work too ... :-) -pekr-

would you be able to export just the rebol messages from Outlook?

According to the e-scribe faq they accept Outlook Express .dbx files. This zip file contains the .dbx for messages from mid July-99 thru to end Dec 99 http://www.rebolforces.com/archive/list/List Jul-Dec 1999.zip I can upload other months if required, just let me know, I'll upload to the same directory Cheers, Allen K

there is a "gimme message" - command somewhere @ selma? and in the X-SELMA: [REBOL] 341927 in the mail-header is a number.. look your missing numbers and write a script.. and tell me this selma - command , somewhere in deep space HD here ..

...but then, your message, arriving at my mailbox 12 seconds after the one you copied the X-SELMA number from has the field X-SELMA: [REBOL] 342011 in the header.. I did not get those 84 messages in between.. /PeO

Hi Allen Thanks for uploading the archive - I joined the list mid-January this year and wouldn't mind getting hold the messages for early Jan so I would be grateful if those could be uploaded too (message numbers 66224 to 74688). I've tried using the "get msg xxxxx" command but all I get is replies saying that those messages are not available (or am I doing something wrong?).

Selma routinely skips numbers, as I remember, often because of NDN replies when sending out messages. Though 84 is many more than usual. -T.
