Not those, no. This should go in the FAQ, actually, cos this is another
one I've seen crop up a few times.

Well, other than the fact that GNOME started a little later than 
January 1997 :)

Luckily, other sites also archive the mailing lists, and some of them 
have searchable archives. The URL I have in my bookmarks for a
searchable archive is
	http://www.geocrawler.com/lists/3/Gnome/

It's reasonably good at searching, and it includes gnome-list, 
gnome-devel-list, gnome-announce-list, gnome-components-list,
gnome-gui-list, gnome-kde-list, gnome-themes-list, gnumeric-list,
guppi-list, balsa-list, gnome-doc-list and calendar-list.
