Potentially.  I'm assuming anybody unclueful enough to top-post will also 
be one of the ones switching to the web interface, so it's mostly a 
self-correcting issue in theory.

Possibly.  The current archives are going through the Firehawk (current 
Wirebird version) engine, which attempts (sometimes unsuccessfully; it 
hasn't kept up with the times) to render it in plain text.  Then Gamehawk 
(upcoming Wirebird version) is getting the final product, and re-rendering 
it as HTML.

Once we're fully running in it, Gamehawk will be rendering the HTML *from 
the original post* (and with a more modern parser), so it should look more 
like what the sender intended (subject to heavy sanitization, of course).

No: http://www.phoenyx.net/cgi-bin/viceroy.pl/TimHall/member.html

I just have the moved-to-Phoenyx dates here.  Or at least the 
moved-to-Firehawk dates.  We launched Wirebird.Firehawk version in April 
1999, and moved all the lists over by July.  (If you have older archives, 
I'll see about getting them fed in.)

I'm really, really hoping to have Wirebird.Gamehawk processing at least 
one list (GAMERS, probably) end-to-end by April 1.

Yeah, 2006.

Hey, it's only about five years late.

Here, have some time travelling:
