OT: Dates on email?

SDL Development
1

I just started receiving a storm of email from this list, all with dates
in 2003. And, from the topics, it looks like the email is that old?

Is anyone else seeing this? Or, has my poor machine simply lost its
mind?

It looks like all the posts that were sent for one year through the SDL
newsgroup (news.lokigames.com) just found their way to the SDL mailing
list (those posts never made it to the mailing list before, while they
used to, before that thing broke).
At least, that’s the case for the few ones from me. But I’m now long
subscribed, subscribing is sooo much better :slight_smile:

I’m seeing it, too. I just got a batch of duplicate mails (two copies
of each mail), dated between May and Sep 2003.On Tue, May 11, 2004 at 03:30:27PM -0500, Bob Pendleton wrote:

Exactly. Duplicates! - 't’seems the sdl relay server is re-sending mails.

I don’t want duplicates…
new filter: subject[SDL] && date11.5.2004 => action

Sorry folks, we upgraded our mailing list software, and apparently there
were a whole bunch of posts queued up from a news gateway. Let me know
if there are still old posts coming through.

Thanks!

There are. But at least they’re from last month, not last year :wink:

[joke] Yes, he is _the_ guy who made Warcraft 3.  He started in 1932, and got it done just in time for computers to be ready for it.  He is the last renaissance man.  To contrast, I am _the_ guy working on a multicore processor.  I started in 1512, and should have it done around 2007. [/joke]
