<question>
<para>Is there a mailing list archive?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>Yes, there is a searchable mailing list archive hosted by <ulink
url="http://www.progressive-comp.com">Progressive Computer
Concepts</ulink>. The &URL; is <ulink
url="http://lists.kde.org">http://lists.kde.org</ulink>. There you
will see a folder listing of the mailing lists. Note that you can
only do a subject/author search at this level. You probably will not
find what you want doing this kind of search.</para>
<para>To do a body search, you have to enter one of the mailing lists.
Just click on the folder you want to search (⪚ <quote>kde</quote>
or <quote>kde-devel</quote>) and then the pull-down menu by the search
box will default to <quote>Body</quote> searches. To be thorough, you
should probably search the <quote>kde</quote>, <quote>kde-linux</quote>, and <quote>kde-devel</quote> folders. </para>
