This is a listing of the files available for majordomo's 'get' command.
The important fields to notice are the filename and the file size:
-rw-rw---- 1 majordom mailadmin 213288 Feb 11 23:21 mgs.archive.980211
^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Size Name
The name reflects the date of the archive, with the above example being
the mail from 02/11/98, and the size being 213,288 characters. Notice how
the size of yesterday's mail is only half the size of the archive for
the ENTIRE month of March 1995. Anyway, assuming your mailer can handle the
size of the files for the time you want, you request the archives with the
get command. Send mail to majordomo@autox.team.net with lines like
get mgs mgs.archive.980212
get mgs mgs.archive.980211
get mgs mgs.archive.980210
You will get the requested files back in return mail. RealSoonNow I'll have
searchable, web based access to these. Yep, RealSoonNow.
