Hi,

I just wanted to let everyone know that every email is also archived at =
bitcoin-development.narkive.com =
<http://bitcoin-development.narkive.com/>, where you can find everything =
since the beginning of the list (June 2011). That should answer to =
Andy=E2=80=99s concern about the older messages not being archived =
anywhere but on sourceforge.

Davide
