Does anyone know if the archive is around anywhere, or is this the first thing on the internet that actually vanished?
If you ever posted to it you got spammed. They put your real email address in archived message headers in the clear and left them for the world to read.
Good riddance.
You mean the woodenflute list at http://www.woodenflute.com/? Still running. Pretty quiet, but there are occasional stirrings. It’s attracted some responses to my long-running thread on thread, and bil reports back occasionally from Afghanistan.

And that is why you can not longer access the archives.
Woodie-L, that spamming thing a few years back - the archives were taken down as a result. I believe some of the subscribers saved old messages so if you were looking for something, try to sign up at woodenflute.com and ask.. there are also great archives about the flute at Irtrad-L.
I have messages from 1998 to current. Folders could be imported into Thunderbird and indexed. Fully searchable inside Thunderbird.
