Hi Eze

As you have been using Google mail I assume you are aware that you might 
just use the Google mail search function.

But a useful alternative is to use e.g. the Thunderbird main client. It 
downloads all the mails and thus makes the mail archive accessible for 
searching offline. With a nice graphical navigation system for the time 
line.

And it seems that AI tools "harvest" the Cuis mailing list also and thus 
provide sometimes quite some insightful answers. (However sometimes they 
are wrong as they seem also to take code examples from Squeak or Pharo 
to produce answers, i.e. sometimes classes are mentioned which are not 
in Cuis)
