[Rhodes22-list] Permission to come aboard?

Sun Mar 29 09:36:58 EDT 2015

Hi Jefferson,
If you have some specific attachments you want to open you might try 
the list archives (which go back to 2002, the list is older than 
that) on the Rhodes owners site. You'll need the date and probably 
the subject line of the message, but you should be able to see the 
attachments by clicking on the links within the message.

Here are the archives
http://www.rhodes22.org/pipermail/rhodes22-list/

And more info about the list from the Rhodes Owners' site
http://www.rhodes22.org/mailman/listinfo/rhodes22-list

Welcome to the list.
