<div>Thanks for the update. I really appreciate your time, energy and magic to keep all the plates spinning.

<div id="yiv1899238493yqtfd61016" class="yiv1899238493yqt3570975087">First off, I made a slight change to the footer for the real time <br clear="none">
messages so that clicking on the second archive link takes you right to <br clear="none">
the healeys archive, not the top level Team Net archive list.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
And no, when you type something into the search string box, it searches <br clear="none">
the ENTIRE healeys archive, you do not have to do it on a month by month <br clear="none">
basis.  For a while I was looking into having the capability to search <br clear="none">
the archives of ALL lists, as there are many problems that Healeys, <br clear="none">
Triumphs, MGs et al have in common.  That seemed an insurmountable task <br clear="none">
given the tools at hand.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
That being said, I am not sure how long those archives will be <br clear="none">
searchable.  Currently the search engine behind it all is based on <br clear="none">
MhonArc and Namazu, some software written decades ago, hasn't been <br clear="none">
supported for years, no bug fixes, no maintenance patches, nothing like <br clear="none">
that.  It is basically, rusty, rotten software that I have been keeping <br clear="none">
together with bubble gum and bailing wire, like a 60 year old British car.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
I run Fedora 29 on the Team Net server.  The current Fedora version is <br clear="none">
35.  But if I update Team Net, the versions of perl and python would get <br clear="none">
updated, and would most likely completely break the current archive <br clear="none">
collection and search capability.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
I could just say, "Too bad.  It's gone."  But there is TONS of info <br clear="none">
collected in the 30 years of email that has flowed through this <br clear="none">
machine.  It is nice to have it available.  And maybe using Google would <br clear="none">
be enough.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Or maybe there are up to date, actively supported email/archive/search <br clear="none">
packages out there that would be a vast improvement over the rickety <br clear="none">
house of cards that is the current situation.  Or maybe after over 30 <br clear="none">
years I could just say goodbye, and pull the plug.  The end of the road.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
But I really don't want to do that.  I am 67, been doing Team Net nearly <br clear="none">
half my life.  Sometimes hard for me to believe that such a <br clear="none">
scatterbrained procrastinator like me, the man behind the curtain, has <br clear="none">
kept the bits flowing for all these years.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
We shall see what happens as we motor on in to our 4th decade of <br clear="none">
