About this site

This site is a bit of Perl code using Net::NNTP to connect to the colobus server which uses the perl.org ezmlm archives as the "news spool".

  If you go to a too high article number you get redirected to the

  Quoted text now comes in a slight gray greenish color. Different anyway.

  When finding a message by msgid the Next and Previous buttons now
  still works. (requires support of the xpath command in the news
  server; I have a patch for colobus that adds that).

  Email addresses from the headers are being slightly mangled now.
