Moving this back to the list.

A bit of odd behavior here with both Konqueror and Firefox. First, I know 
the example link to the tiny test list I sent you off list was slightly 
broken. (missing the first .mbox) And the fixed version you sent back 
worked perfectly. However, I noticed it had by passed the authentication 
screen due to my user name & password being saved in cookies.

Tried your 'corrected' link in a diffrent browser, got the authentication 
page, logged in with user name and password and promptly got the "Private 
archive file not found" error again. Looked at the URL and it was now 
missing the first .mbox. Opened a new tab, pasted in the full correct URL 
and it pulled down a complete archive. 

So, even when you know the exact location of the archives, something still 
tries to hide them. Now I just need to get brave and try editing them and 
see what breaks:)

Want to thank John for asking and you for answering! While Gmane and 
gateways are interesting, they are way down on my list of priorities. 
Knowing the true location of archives is useful right now.
