Folks,

When you subscribed to this NV-L list,  every one of you got a note which told
you how to get more information on the capabilities of the listserver and how it
works.    Here's part of that note:

>> More  information on  LISTSERV  commands  can be  found  in the  LISTSERV
>>reference  card, which  you can  retrieve  by sending  an "INFO  REFCARD"
>>command to LISTSERV@UCSBVM.UCSB.EDU.

If  you do get the REFCARD as this suggests, it says:

SEArch       listname word1 <word2 <...>>      Search list archives
        or:  word1 <word2 <...>> IN listname
             FROM date1                        -> From this date
                  TODAY                        -> From today
                  TODAY-7                      -> In the last 7 days
             TO   date2                        -> To this date
             WHERE
               SUBJECT CONTAINS xxxx           -> Only this subject
             AND/OR
               SENDER  CONTAINS xxxx           -> Only this author
                                               Complex boolean operations are
                                               supported, see database guide





    Happy Searching

You need to send your search request to LISTSERV@ucsbvm.ucsb.edu. In the
body of the message, NOT the subject line, type something like:

SEARCH 'keyword' IN NV-L FROM TODAY-100

That will search all postings for the last 100 days. Obviously you can
lengthen or shorten the period. You will be given a list of entries
containing the keyword and instructions on how to read the ones that look
interesting.

There are probably other ways to search but I do not know the full syntax.
This is what I have done before.
