News/Mail articles are archived on the node hepnet.hep.net and can be accessed via anonymous ftp or from this www page. At least that is the idea but I haven't managed to get it to work yet! The files are stored on a VMS anonymous ftp server and I haven't been able to work out a URL that is accepted! If anyone knows the trick, please mail me at judy@cernvm.cern.ch.
In the meantime you can use anonymous ftp directly. Articles are stored on the node hepnet.hep.net, with one file for each month, in the files /hepix/email/199y/199y-mm where y is the last digit of the year and mm is the month (1-12).
Note that this page is not able to predict the future - you will find nothing at the end of the links already in place for the coming months contributions!
