We keep meaning to set that up...

You can send email to "talk-index.1-1087 at nblug.org" to get an index up to
your message.  You can send a message to "talk-get.123_145 at nblug.org" to get
messages 123-145 (100 max per request).  You can also send a message to
"talk-thread.1087 at nblug.org" to get everything connected to a particular
message.

You can see the number in the "Return-Path" of a message; it's in there
after "talk-return-" and before your encoded email address.  Digests list
all the numbers pretty outright.  (the numbers do the obvious incrementing
thing)

Of course, that doesn't cover the older material from when we were on
majordomo on a different server instead of ezmlm on our own server.

email to "talk-archive-help at nblug.org" or maybe even just
"talk-help at nblug.org" would have gotten you much of the same information in
a hard to understand way like:

To get messages 123 through 145 (a maximum of 100 per request), mail:
<talk-get.123_145 at nblug.org>
To get an index with subject and author for messages 123-456, mail:
<talk-index.123_456 at nblug.org>
To receive all messages with the same subject as message 12345,
send an empty message to:
<talk-thread.12345 at nblug.org>
