Thanks a lot for that hint!  The connect was so slow lately that I never
waited till the page was downloaded completely.  Maybe a hint at the top of
the page would be useful... :-)

But now I've got a new problem.  The search gives me a nice list of
articles with links like this:
 http://cgi.debian.org/cgi-bin/debian-user-9907/msg00185.html
However the correct link would be:
 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-user-9907/msg00185.html

Thanks again,
 Andy.
