I suggest trying ftp to <ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf-mail-archive/ietf> or
<ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf-mail-archive/ietf-announce>. In general,
when looking for stuff at organizations that predate the web, trying
ftp is a good idea.

The IETF (anounce) mailing list archive has several problems
that should be fixed:
- The most recent page is
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/ietf-announce/Current/maillist.html
older pages are
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/ietf-announce/Current/mail2.html
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/ietf-announce/Current/mail3.html
and so on. If the numbers change every time a new page is
added, this breaks all URIs. JUST DON'T DO THIS, please!
- The oldest page in the announce archive is currently
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/ietf-announce/Current/mail434.html
I'm sure older archives are available. If they cannot be made
available in the same form, then there should at least somewhere
be a pointer to older archives. Otherwise, a small note saying
that the list was created in March 1998.
- The 'previous page'/'next page' links go in the opposite direction
of what one would expect (next goes to the past, previous to the
future).
- The discussion list is arbitrarily split in Oct. 1998.
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/ietf/Pre_Oct_1998/maillist.html
- The discussion list archive starts in Feb 1998. I'm sure the
list existed before.

Many thanks in advance for fixing these problems,
Regards, Martin.
