Improvements to the mailarch tool, and plans to discontinue the mhonarc archives

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



There have been several improvements to the mailarch tool recently.

If you haven't already discovered it, please try out the new "Static Mode",
particularly if you frequently use the Mhonarc archives.

See, for example, <https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/browse/static/ietf/2018-09/>.

To get this view by default when browsing lists, set "Static Mode On" in the
Settings menu at top right of the page. This preference is stored in a cookie.

Also note that the speed of searching a list, and searching across multiple lists
has been significantly improved. The use of whitespace and fonts have also been
adjusted.

We are working towards a single copy of the archived mail list messages. Currently,
mailarch and IMAP work from the same files, but MonArch uses a separate set of files
in another format.

We plan to discontinue the use of Mhonarc soon, likely between IETF 103 and 104.
When we make that change, all exising URLs into the Mhonarc archives will redirect
to the same message in mailarch as discussed in section 2.7 of RFC6778.

Please exercise the mailarch system. If you find issues, report them at
<https://trac.tools.ietf.org/tools/ietfdb/newticket> and choose the
"MailArchive: User Interface Component". Alternatively, you can send mail
to mailarch-project@ietf.org.
