Thomas,
My earlier reply, in message #11006, still applies:

You can even retrieve those past messages one file at a time,
if necessary due to bad formatting or characters in one message.
Thus, to retrieve messages #11209 through #11212 via email you can
send one message:

    To: 
    Subject: 11209 11210 11211 11212

or several messages:

    To: 
    Subject: 11209

    To: 
    Subject: 11210

    To: 
    Subject: 11211

    To: 
    Subject: 11212

Of course, those with web access can access those messages even faster:

    http://www.cryonet.org/archive/11209
    http://www.cryonet.org/archive/11210
    http://www.cryonet.org/archive/11211
    http://www.cryonet.org/archive/11212

Even people with text-mode, shell accounts can use Lynx rather
than Netscape, Internet Explorer, etc. browsers.

In summary, there are _lots_ of ways to retrieve CryoNet archives
and it is _not_ necessary to complain to all of CryoNet when some
email glitch somewhere in the Internet (or on your computer) causes
you to lose a digest occasionally.

PS: The archives at www.cryonet.org are available immediately when
    the digest is mailed to the list.  Keith Lynch's archives take
    somewhat longer to get posted to his web site, but they include
    all the old messages, too.
