Standard is 3 or 5 days depending on a certain variable in sendmail which had its default changed (to 5) a few years ago. If mail just disappears in a shorter time you may want to suspect your mailer of eating it (mm.... glorantha-digest... slurp).

You can always recover old digests from the majordomo mailer at Chaosium... at least the ones since the glorantha-digest moved here to chaosium.com. Clip and save this message for reference.

In all cases, mail these commands to majordomo_at_chaosium.com in the BODY of the message, not the subject:

To get a listing of available files:

  index glorantha-digest

You'll get a listing that includes lines like this:

• -rw-rw---- 1 domo daemon 37435 Jul 16 10:26 v06.n024
• -rw-rw---- 1 domo daemon 6740 Jul 16 18:45 v06.n025
• -rw-rw---- 1 domo daemon 21983 Jul 17 13:26 v06.n026
• -rw-rw---- 1 domo daemon 7506 Jul 17 18:45 v06.n027
• -rw-rw---- 1 domo daemon 24686 Jul 18 16:26 v06.n028
• -rw-rw---- 1 domo daemon 15388 Jul 18 18:45 v06.n029
• -rw-rw---- 1 domo daemon 21172 Jul 19 07:26 v06.n030
• -rw-rw---- 1 domo daemon 16695 Jul 19 18:45 v06.n031
• -rw-rw---- 1 domo daemon 22349 Jul 20 10:26 v06.n032
• -rw-rw---- 1 domo daemon 21901 Jul 20 12:36 v06.n033

That's the file name all the way to the right.

To retrieve a specific file:

  get glorantha-digest filename

i.e.,

  get glorantha-digest v06.n033

You can put a whole bunch of commands in one message and you'll get back the files one per message.
