  I tried twice to WWW http://www.terra.net/aquanaut/techdiver, and all I got
was an error remark.

  GJLUNDY@HT*.NE* later kindly told me a route to Techdiver's WWW page, which
I found was on http://www.terra.net/mlist/aquanaut/techdiver (notice the extra
segment in its name).

  This archive seems to store the full unexpurgated version of every message's
header. To keep within bounds (a) this archive's size and (b) the time used
downloading each message every time someone wants one of them, how long would
it take someone to write a small program that would go through the archive and
remove all the Received: and X-***: and MIME-***: lines and such wordy email
server drivel from the headers? Even removing the Received: lines alone would
save very much store space!
