The account the archive is stored on had run out of disk space, so was
refusing to create more articles.

As the system had grown unmanagable (the mailbox itself was about 30Mb),
I've split the first 6000 messages into batches of 1000 mails each, which
are downloadable individually. Only messages 6001+ will appear in the
archive listing.

At some point I will think about organising this system better. For those of
you that remember, it grew out of a quick botch job so that someone could
check up on an old mail...

Cheers,
	Ralf.
