<p>Matt,</p>
<p>We will be preserving the existing Archive, though it may not be
on groups.io. We are still looking into what that will require.</p>
<p>I have every post to the list dating back to its start in 1996.
We would like to include those messages in the archive as well.</p>
<p>If there is anyone out there who would like to give us a hand
migrating the archive, email us at <a href="mailto:web_team@nwhs.org"><web_team@nwhs.org></a></p>

Ron, thanks for this update. Will the existing deep archive of
correspondence be transferred to groups.io, or if not, will the
past message archive still be searchable as it is today?

<p>As the NW-Mailing-List approaches 30 years of existence,
the time has come to make some changes.</p>
<p>The Mailman software which has been running the list for
over 21 years has become unsupportable. Complying with the
increasing number and complexity of anti-spam and other
e-mail filters on the Internet has reached a breaking
point. Our provider Pair.com announced that they will end
support for mailing lists at the end of this year.</p>
<p>After reviewing our options, we determined that <b>groups.io</b> is
our best option for continuing to maintain the
NW-Mailing-List.<br>
Groups.io expanded features such as file and photo sharing
should make the NW-Mailing-List a better tool for sharing
our collective knowledge and resources. Another
consideration was that groups.io will not resell our email
addresses or target marketing material to you.<br>
</p>
<p>Sometime <b>Wednesday </b>you will receive an email
from Groups.io notifying you that you have been added to
the groups.io NW-Mailing-List. A link is included in the
email for logging in and establishing an account password.
(Yes another darn password!) Fortunately you will not need
the password to participate in the NW-Mailing-List.
Messages will continue to be email based although now a
web interface is available for those that prefer that
choice. The difference will be that emails will be sent to
<<b><a href="mailto:nw-mailing-list@groups.io">nw-mailing-list@groups.io</a></b>>
instead of to the nwhs.org domain. </p>
<p>As we make this transition, <b>check your email spam
settings</b> and make sure the address <a href="mailto:nw-mailing-list@groups.io"><nw-mailing-list@groups.io></a>
is whitelisted so you will see all the messages from the
list.</p>
<p>If you are already using groups.io with the same e-mail
address, NW-Mailing-List will show up in Your Groups.<br>
If you are new to groups.io, please click on the link
included in the email to establish a password to go with
your email address. This will unlock a web interface where
you can customize the way messages are sent and received
from your account.<br>
</p>
<p>If you want to opt out of the new mailing list, email Ron
at <a href="mailto:davis@nwhs.org"><davis@nwhs.org></a>
before noon on Wednesday. If you miss the deadline, there
will be a link in the groups.io email to unsubscribe.</p>
<p>Thank you all for participating and contributing to this
amazing source of N&W/VGN information.</p>
<p>Ron Davis</p>
