Paul:

I don't know quite what you mean by "digests or indices."  PaleoNet
archives all messages posted to it and to the specialty servers.  These are
available in a file that can be downloaded from the NHM-FTP site.  If
anyone is interested, I can provide instructions on how to do this.  There
was a request at the Seattle PaleoNet meeting to periodically drop the
PaleoNet archive into a database so that people could browse for past
postings by topic, author's name, etc.  This is also doable though at this
early stage I don't think we've reached a critical mass of messages that
really need to be saved for posterity as yet.  Does this answer your
question or did you have something else in mind?
