Have now got an outlook account going for birding-aus, so messages from me will 
appear as  - will be deleting this yahoo account as soon 
as I have checked it's not linked to anything else. Outlook webmail seems very 
good and easy to organise.

I also spent some time changing a bunch of passwords after a IT-nerdy friend 
advised it was a good idea due to the heartbleed bug (he also said it may not 
do any good but anything helps).

Hi Helen

We're hoping the other webmail superpowers don't follow suit - it will quickly 
bring about the death of mailing lists if that's the case. 

As for your personal archive, if it is on webmail, then it's just as easy to 
search our own archive. It has ALL messages, and it is a very useful resource. 
I'm about to use it to find where to go birding while I am in KL!

Kind regards

Russell
