Filtering will again be sufficient if you do it on the server side.

Well, I figured it might be fun for people to know that there are, as of this moment, 405 known node names at MIM.
Not bad...
I know there are some more coming in, and in general, there is a steady stream of new registrations.
Speaking of which, is noone running a phase V area router? (Or could phase V not even be an area router?)

Pardon phone top-posting.
I would VERY much like digest. May have to unsubscribe w/o, which reduces chance putting my DEC gear online to nil. :(

Not really fond of the idea of moving the list... Any particular

Yes. It isn't currently hosted on TOPS-20. ;)
That, that I could almost agree on. :-)
Actually, a mail daemon for RSX is in my plans... Once I've done that, I'll fix a mail list manager as well, and then I can have all the fun in the world... ;-)
On a semi-related semi-serious note, would anyone here use...what was it
that was the TOPS-20 mailing list thing...bboard? Maybe we could
subscribe it to HECnet? ;)
Not sure I agree subscribing lists to lists is a good idea. There might be legitimate reasons for people to be subscribed to one, but not the other.
Same thing for the pdp-11 mailing lists.

However, majordomo is a problem for various reasons anyway, and there are some activity to replace the whole thing, but no real time plans.

What we really want is a NOTES gateway, right???

P.S. Just kidding, of course.
You may be kidding Bob but I thought it would be neat to actually use NOTES on HECNet for discussions that veer WAY off topic sometimes on the current HECNet-list. I personally do not care (and learn things from reading the sometimes what could be considered offtopic posts) but I know some folks may not want to see the noise.
MISER:: is up 24/7 and I'd be willing to host some conferences.

Already did, amazingly it didn't care about the ancient tool chain.

Well point me at the box (I suggest an older Linux that still has DECNET built in) and I'll have a go at building a CTERM accessible interface :)
I have a RedHat 9 box that I might be able to get newer python working on.

This was asked before, and I'm pretty sure the majordomo we're using for
this list does not support digests.
I'd be willing to volunteer to host the list using current (more or less)
Gnu Mailman software if people want to switch. If someone (Johnny??) can
send me a list of the current subscribers, I'll even automatically subscribe
them. If somebody adds an appropriate forwarding address for
hecnet at update.uu.se, we can even make the change semi-transparent.
Not only does Gnu have a digest mode (in several different formats, to
boot) but it also has a web accessible UI for subscribing AND a web
accessible archive of past messages. Yipee!!!

This plan has my vote, pipermail is useful!
