Theos-Talk Archives (November 2001 Message tt00075)

Daniel Hougas:

One of the options that you can select when creating a
Yahoo Group mailing list is if you want the list's
archives viewable by people who aren't subscribed to
the mailing list.

If the not-visible option is selected, then someone like Daniel,
Caldwell, who may not currently be subscribed to the Universal Seekers
list, cannot use Yahoo's web interface to browse the list's archives.

The theos-talk list has open archives. Even if not subscribed,
someone can browse its archives, assuming they have a Yahoo Id and
are signed in, at:

<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/theos-talk/messages>

If the archives are made viewable to the public, anyone
can read them, even if not subscribed to the list.

Each message stored in the archives is in a web page that
can be linked to. An example comes from your message below:

<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/UniversalSeekers/message/1961>

This link says Yahoo Group "Universal Seekers", message 1961
in its archives. I would expect that to people not subscribed
to that particular Yahoo Group, this link wouldn't work. But I'd
like to hear from some who'd try this, just to know for sure.
