RE: Help w/ querying the list archives

[Reiner Fink <reinerf@microsoft.com>]

Here is a hint (BTW, this will be fixed in Internet Explorer 4 :-),
instead of trying to view the large textfiles with a browser (which
sucks at it), right click on the article, and choose "Save Target As" to
download a copy of the text file to you machine. Then view the article
with, say, WordPad which can search the text for what you want.
