The Traveller Mailing List archive is complete and available on the Internet Archive.
Traveller mailing list
All 39 years of the TML (1987-2026) have been recovered and preserved across four segments:
- 1987-2002: 186 monthly files, ~195,000 messages, rebuilt into mbox format
- 2002-2006: 47 files, ~46,000 messages
- 2006-2014: Gap filled via a personal archive from a community member
- 2014-2026: ~22,500 messages from individual .eml files
A handful of months from 2003-2004 are permanently lost due to a hosting migration gap, but otherwise this is the full run from the Tektronix era through Simplelists.
This wouldn't have been possible without Bruce Johnson, who preserved and provided the entire 2014-2026 run as individual .eml files, and u/treecatarmsmen142 on Reddit, who came through with a personal archive that filled the 2006-2014 gap that would have otherwise been a dead zone. Huge thanks to both of them.
If you ever posted to the TML, your words are in there.
If anything needs corrections or finds gaps I missed, let me know.
