OK, thanks all for the clarification and I'm glad to know that the
messages are there to be searched for. However, I would request that
there be a commitment made to not let the URLs change again (at least
not if it can be helped). I believe that the tdwg-content list has
some sort of official status as a record of discussion related to
proposed changes to TDWG standards, and as such it should be stable.
In October 2010 there were over 250 emails (many sharing the same
subject line and by the same writers), some of which were extremely
important in elucidating the community understanding of important
concepts related to Darwin Core. I have recently spend many hours
combing through these messages in an effort to summarize what was said
and I've been recording the URLs of the source emails. I would not
want to ever have to do that again...<br>

But when we merged the various mailinglists into one the static html view of the mailinglist had to be regenerated and apparently the urls of some messages have changed then as they use some local serial number to identify messages instead of a native message id.
This is indeed a nasty consequence we didnt foresee and that I cant think of any solution for I am afraid.

<pre wrap="">Odd. The URLs in my 31 August 2010 don't seem to point to the intended
content any longer, but the relevant postings do still exist. Happily
I gave the subject headings in my posting. They are on the monthly
message indexes (such as
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://lists.tdwg.org/pipermail/tdwg-content/2009-June/">http://lists.tdwg.org/pipermail/tdwg-content/2009-June/</a>) and have the
subject headings:

<pre wrap="">I have been reviewing some posts in the tdwg-content archives and got to
this one:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://lists.tdwg.org/pipermail/tdwg-content/2010-August/000060.html">http://lists.tdwg.org/pipermail/tdwg-content/2010-August/000060.html</a>
It references a number of previous posts related to background on the
DwC standard, such as
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://lists.tdwg.org/pipermail/tdwg-content/2009-June/000019.html">http://lists.tdwg.org/pipermail/tdwg-content/2009-June/000019.html</a>
However, those links don't seem to do anything any more. There are
other emails whose URLs begin with
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://lists.tdwg.org/pipermail/tdwg-content/2009-June/">http://lists.tdwg.org/pipermail/tdwg-content/2009-June/</a>
found in the June 2009 archives:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://lists.tdwg.org/pipermail/tdwg-content/2009-June/thread.html">http://lists.tdwg.org/pipermail/tdwg-content/2009-June/thread.html</a>
but not the ones referenced in the August 2010 message. I have been
assuming that although it is a bit inconvenient to look things up in the
list archives, the messages that have been sent would nevertheless be
permanently archived. Is that not true?
