I remember that the mailing list archive uses 'htpps' format ?
Extra 'security', which can't be accessed by N-O's facilities ?!
Best always use the lowest viable technology.
Resist the bleeding edge ?

After looking around and enquiring about methods to examine/fix
the partition table [hdx26], I find the easiest is to extend the existing
