[John Sechrest <sechrest@xxxxxxxx>]

I would rather have the archive be directly a linked archive.
So I prefer that to Chris's hack.    (01)

I have the guts of a mail2wiki package/program put together.    (02)

I am just working on how to authenticate as a way of keeping
spam out of the wiki.     (03)

Perhaps I should just archive the messages directly into the wiki.    (04)
