As others have mentioned, there is currently an archive of the lists 
at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com.

Several others have set up their own archives. The one I can think of 
off the top of my head is at http://www.depopo.net/.

We are working on including the "old" list archives in the "new" lists 
- mailman provides a tool to do this called 'arch'. There is still 
some discussion about legality, munging of the data to point to the 
new location rather than to the soon-to-be-defunct list.cobalt.com 
domain, etc.

If wouldn't mind sending me a list of those URLs when you have a spare 
minute, I'll look at consolidating the info from the posts into 
HOWTO-type documents.

I will then post those in the wiki at http://www.cobaltfaqs.com/, and 
they will be mirrored elsewhere I'm sure (http://www.cobaltfacts.com/ 
seems to be accumulating/mirroring HOWTOs from various locations 
around the web).
