Randy, Suresh Thanks for the info. I do like my Web interface to a mailing list once I am in approximately the right time frame and I know of no such interface to an IETF list archive any more. By contrast, the IRTF archives, such as ICCRG and TMRG are excellent. The nearest such IETF facility is CCAMP but that has less function and uses https:-( with a certificate that my browser rejects.
