If you do lose mail, you may want to use the majordomo index and get commands
to have the days collection of mail sent back to you.  Basically you send mail
to majordomo@autox.team.net with the command

  index triumphs


Then you will get a long listing (a Unix style ls -l format) of available
files, sort of like

 ...
-rw-rw----   1 majordom mailadmi   102190 Dec 16 21:41 triumphs.archive.961216
-rw-rw----   1 majordom mailadmi    80547 Dec 17 21:38 triumphs.archive.961217
-rw-rw----   1 majordom mailadmi    84776 Dec 18 21:10 triumphs.archive.961218
-rw-rw----   1 majordom mailadmi    87220 Dec 19 20:36 triumphs.archive.961219
-rw-rw----   1 majordom mailadmi    64162 Dec 20 17:13 triumphs.archive.961220
-rw-rw----   1 majordom mailadmi    32120 Dec 21 21:47 triumphs.archive.961221
-rw-rw----   1 majordom mailadmi    20982 Dec 22 19:47 triumphs.archive.961222
-rw-rw----   1 majordom mailadmi    42627 Dec 23 16:19 triumphs.archive.961223
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^   ^^^^^^              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
[   Ignore this part           ]    bytes                    file name

Then, assuming your mailer can handle files of the given size from the bytes
column, you can then send get commands to majordomo@autox.team.net:

get triumphs triumphs.archive.961220
get triumphs triumphs.archive.961221
get triumphs triumphs.archive.961222


Each of the requested files will then be mailed back to you.  Folks using
juno addresses are limited to messages under 61,000 bytes, so bear that in
mind if you want to look at old archives.
