We at Northeast Parallel Architecture Center (NPAC),
Syracue
University has developed an archive system for
searching/reading USENET newsgroups,
mailing lists and personal mailbox from WWW. An Oracle
database server is used
to store/manage mails and two search/navigation
interfaces
accesible by any WWW browser
to the archive are provided: one is an advanced search
interface
allowing queries with various options such as query by
mail header,
by date, by subject (keywords), by sender. The other is
a Hypermail-like
navigation interface for users familiar with Hypermail.

We offer free access to this archive for the Internet
Internet community. Check the URL

<URL:http://asknpac.npac.syr.edu>
or
<URL:http://128.230.144.19>.

The whole archive is automatically updated in
every 30 minutes. Currently the following newsgroups
(total 68) are archived
in the database, including this newsgroup/mailing-group:
