Smart Archiver help file

On the list selection page you can either select the name of a publicly advertised list and press the "Ok" button to go to that list or type in the name of a list and press the "Ok" button.

If you type in the wrong name for a list you will be returned to the list selection page again.

If the list you selected on the list selection page is not readable for the whole world you have to login.

If the list is readable for subscribers and you are subscribed to this list you can fill in your e-mail address in the "E-mail address" field and your password in the "Password" field and press the "Login" button.

If the list is readable with the archive password you can fill in the archive password in the "List archive or Administrator password" box and press the "Login" button.

If you are an administrator you can fill in your password in the "(List archive or) Administrator password" box and press the "Login" button.

If you type in the wrong password or e-mail address you will get an error and you will be returned to the login page again.

You can set various selection criteria and sort options for the overview. You can specify a "start date and time" and an "end date and time". Setting any of the fields in start (or end) date to '-' (dash) will result in completely ignoring the start (or end) date.

If you specify an attachment type (e.g. 'doc' or 'txt') in the "Attachment type" box, only messages with that type of attachment will be shown in the overview.

If you set the "only messages with attachments" to true, only messages with one or more attachments will be shown in the overview.

You can specify searchwords by typing them in the "searchwords" box. The overview will show messages that contain any of the searchwords specified. If you want to search for a phrase you can put it between double quotes (") (e.g. "exact phrase search").

You can specify where to look for searchwords by setting any of the fields "Email body", "Subject", "Attachment filename", "Plaintext attachments" and "Sender name".

You can change the sort order of the overview by selecting a different sort order from the "Set sort order" drop-down menu.

You can show the specific overview by pressing the "Set" button.

The subject of the message is printed large on top of the message page. There are various links to go through the overview below the subject. Then the sender and date sent are displayed. Below that is the body of the message. If the message has attachments, they are listed at the bottom of the page. You can download an attachment by clicking the link.

You can easily move trough the messages in the overview with the various previous and next links. For instance, "Previous message in same category" will take you to the previous message in the category, (e.g. preivious in the thread if you sorted your overview on thread, or previous message from the same sender if you sorted on sender). "First message in prev category" will take you to the first message of the previous category. You can also return to your previous overview or return to the standard overview.

The statistics page show access statistics for the archive of the current list. It shows you, per month, how often a standard overview, a specific overview or a message was requested and what percentage of the total requests that is.
