Yeah, well, the Vanagon archives ain't a commercial enterprise, I reckon
we're all just darn lucky that they are there at all. I suspect there is
no one to change the page coding.

I see Dave's point, namely that the archives are the archives and if you
want to web browse them, you have to use whatever works to see them. But
I think that it would be a little silly if we needed to use the 1993
NCSA Mosaic browser.

I'll give that email method a shot.
