2003-10-22, to be exact. Coinciding with a major upgrade to the site. 
Among the links pointing to posts still missing is the detailed 
description of Mark Lord's NW9 live image from 12/2003.

Probably not suitable for your purposes, but gmane has an option to do 
this upon registering a mailing list. I do not know what software they 
use to accomplish it, but I'm sure they say somewhere.

Mailing list histories on the web are now divided into several eras:
1) The era archived on copilotconsulting.com
2) The era archived on the FTP mirrors
3) The era you have just restored
4) The archive of the current list
There are gaps both before and after each of the first three.
