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 ?

This mailing list seems to mostly serve beta-testing of Aos/BB.
Perhaps you will get better 'general oberon' answers from:

After looking around and enquiring about methods to examine/fix
the partition table [hdx26], I find the easiest is to extend the existing
clean/well-written source of Partitions.Mod 

IMO ETHZ-oberon is much more than the oberon language - the 
'guiding philosophy' has given a special OS.
