The CircleMUD mailing list has existed in one form or another since January of 1994 on various machines whose administrators have generously donated their time and resources (such as dopey.fpa.com, marble.bu.edu, pvv.unit.no, cspo.queensu.ca, and post.queensu.ca).
Although many messages were unfortunately lost, this archive contains the full text of about 50,000 messages that have been saved since the mailing list was established. Due to the traffic volume, these archives are broken down by month. Even so, some of the indices are quite large (as much as 200K).
The most current list archives are stored on the same machine as the mailing list itself, currently located at Queen's University.
If you'd rather download the messages in large blocks instead of browsing them on the web, they are available in the list archive area of the CircleMUD FTP site.
