   But it isn't searchable and readable and has not been for more than a   
   decade now.  The incices are badly broken and it is impossible to find   
   many earlier articles which could previously be found with simple searches.   
   They are in there and if you know the message-id you might be able to   
   retrieve them, but just knowing the author and content is not enough to   
   find them.
