Thanks for the nudge, Nick. Some conversations started before the end of
the year had not run to conclusion.
The robots.txt file has been changed, and some things put in place to
help the spiders find all the messages.

We will be discontinuing Mhonarc during the day on Monday Jan 14.
As noted below, all existing Mhonarc URLs will redirect to the same

The mbox files available through rsync will continue to be available.
Robert,
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/robots.txt includes "Disallow: /", which
means that the entire mailarch repository is unavailable on regular
search engines.
This was reported in ietfdb ticket 2658.
Are there plans to fix this before mhonarc is discontinued? It would
be hugely regressive for ietf mailing lists to be cut off from regular
internet searches.
