Subject: cool thing with imap and mailing list archives

FYI, some mailing list and news group archives are accessible via
IMAP.  If you're using pine you can add the following to your
folder-collections to check out a some IMAP archives: 

 {cyrus.andrew.cmu.edu/anonymous}[]
 *{imap.mid.net/anonymous}pub/NET/[]

The first one includes the IMAP and ACAP mailing list archives. 
The second one has archives of the net-happenings mailing list. 

If you know of any other IMAP accessible archives, please let me
know.  I'd like to collect a list and put it on the Web. 

Thanks,
Nancy

PS - Navigator 4 (Galileo) is going to support IMAP.  Check out

The Pine-Info archives are IMAP accessible, too; the folder collection
definition in PINE would be: 

*{ftp.cac.washington.edu/anonymous}pine/pine-info/[]

Here's a fragment of my folder-collections:

        "Pine-Info Archives"	*{ftp.cac.washington.edu/anonymous}pine/pine-info/[],
        "CMU Archives"		{cyrus.andrew.cmu.edu/anonymous}[archive.*],
        Net-Happenings		*{imap.mid.net/anonymous}pub/NET/[],
        IMAP/C-Client		*{ftp.cac.washington.edu/anonymous}mail/[*_archive]

Note that I have used wild-cards inside the '[]' in a couple of them
to cut out the clutter of other stuff that I'm not interested in.

There isn't any configuration needed.  A Unix pathname as the mailbox 
name -- e.g. {imap.server.com}/usr/blurdybloop/sarasoop -- works fine.
