The top level of the archives can be found at http://java.sun.com/archives/.

These archives are in addition to what can be retrieved via email. (Send 'help' to majordomo@java.sun.com for more info on retrieving old archives via email.)

The archives look bloated because of the little informational blurb we append to each message for the benefit of internal Sun subscribers. Although you will still see that message on individual postings, it will no longer show up in the archive or the digests. Now if we were really smart we would only append the blurb messages going out to addresses within Sun, but we're not that clever yet.

Many thanks to the folks at EIT for making Hypermail available. It is really cool and does its job well. You can find out more about Hypermail at http://wsk.eit.com/wsk/dist/doc/admin/hypermail/hypermail.html.
