Hi, Maybe the answer to this is really simple. All I want to be able to do is enter a search for keywords so the whole of the Fedora mail archive is searched. This is a pretty standard facility on any bulletin board I use. I currently access the mail archive through the url: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/ I want to participate in this Fedora community as I feel it probably contains a very high proportion of knowledgable and "active" Fedora users. I don't want to just blast off questions that have been answered 10 times already - and that would be revealed through a trivial search. Thanks Clive
