===Archives===
A mailing list archive is a collection of past messages from one or more electronic mailing lists. Such archives often include searching and indexing functionality. Many archives are directly associated with the mailing list, but some organizations, such as [[Gmane]], collect archives from multiple mailing lists hosted at different organizations; thus, one message sent to one popular mailing list may end up in many different archives. Gmane had over 9,000 mailing list archives as of 16 January 2007. Some popular [[free software]] programs for collecting mailing list archives are [[Hypermail]], [[MHonArc]],<ref>[https://github.com/sympa-community/MHonArc MHonArc - A mail-to-HTML converter]</ref>, [[FUDforum]], and [[public-inbox]]<ref>{{cite web |url=https://public-inbox.org/README.html |title=public-inbox - an "archives first" approach to mailing lists |website=public-inbox.org |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240118050149/https://public-inbox.org/README.html |archive-date= Jan 18, 2024 }}</ref> (which is notably used for archiving the [[Linux kernel mailing list]]<ref>{{cite web |url=[https://loresubspace.kernel.org/lkml/|title=linux-kernel.vgersoftware.html kernel.org archive mirror |website=public-inbox listing |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240121180815/https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/|archive-date=What Janis 21,subspace 2024 }}running?]</ref> along with many other software development mailing lists<ref>{{cite web |url=https://lore.kernel.org/|title=public-inbox listing |website=lore.kernel.org |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240121213921/https://lore.kernel.org/ |archive-date= Jan 21, 2024 }}</ref> and has a web-service API used by search-and-retrieval tools intended for use by the [[Linux kernel#Developer community|Linux kernel development community]]<ref>{{cite news|url=https://lwn.net/Articles/878205/|title=Digging into the community's lore with lei|work=[[LWN.net]] |date=December 13, 2021|df=ymd|first=Jonathan|last=Corbet |url-status=live |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20231112134713/http://lwn.net/Articles/878205/ |archive-date= Nov 12, 2023 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://people.kernel.org/monsieuricon/lore-lei-part-1-getting-started|title=lore+lei: part 1, getting started|date=November 5, 2021|first=Konstantin|last=Ryabitsev |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231203121032/https://people.kernel.org/monsieuricon/lore-lei-part-1-getting-started |archive-date= Dec 3, 2023 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://people.kernel.org/monsieuricon/lore-lei-part-2-now-with-imap|title=lore+lei: part 2, now with IMAP|date=November 12, 2021|first=Konstantin|last=Ryabitsev |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230605195549/https://people.kernel.org/monsieuricon/lore-lei-part-2-now-with-imap |archive-date= Jun 5, 2023 }}</ref>).{{citation needed|date=July 2022}}
