[Emacspeak] Re: List archive use question

[Greg Priest-Dorman <gpriestdorman@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to everyone for the replies both on and off list.

So far, no one has said they actually use the Hyperkitty archive.  

A few people have offered suggestions for alternatives or told me they don't like it.

I want to give this a few more days for comments but so far it feels like looking for an alternative would be a good thing.

I'm not changing anything right away so please do let me know on or off list if you search emacspeak past messages how you do it.

One point about Raman's Emacspeak 57 announcement and the archived version as I have received some notes about the differences between the two or lack of receipt of one or both.    The one in the archive broke the mailer and was not sent out, the one sent out broke the archiver and was not archived. Some people did not get either. If you have not seen an announcement for emacspeak 57 here is a link to the post on Raman's blog - https://tvraman.github.io/emacspeak/blog/ANNOUNCE-57.html

Greg, thanks for the pointer.

Must admit I've not used the archives for eons, preferring just Google
for anything specific, and only rarely at that.

So...  I just had a look at what the Kitty said for November 2022.

Found Raman's Emacspeak 57 announcement, rendered on EWW as a whole boat
load'o raw markup :-)

But as the message never, or hasn't yet, reached my inbox, I'm grateful
nonetheless.

And that's all I got.

Happy Holidays!
