Delete is good if you're going to have a redirect to the same message
in /forum/ as you mention below.

Please; about two months' worth.

Since the network where I am is very unstable, I end up getting kicked off
the list every once and a while, or for other reasons can't get the list
mail.  It sure would be nice to know that the mailbox were available for
about two months before getting canned.  (I need them to maintain my own
digest archive.)

Sounds like it would make a very smooth transition.

Or perhaps provide a link to:
        http://lynx.cc.ukans.edu/lynx-dev/lynx-dev.tar.gz

Thanks Russell, Al, Bob and whoever else is involved in maintaining
these archives.  It is much appreciated!
