How many times I have to do this?

How many times did I need to get a copy of your message <G>.

You can try two things.

1) send e-mail to ftp@ranma.net to get a listing of stuff on the remailer
(It's a little out of date the last time i checked).

2) send e-mail to fanfic-request@fanfic.com with the subject archive.  in
the body do the following:

grep 'text string' latest/*
quit

Then use the reply to find file names to use the get functions of the
archive server.  You can also send a message to fanfic-request@fanfic.com
with the subject for archive help.  Of course this is all the the message
you get when you subscribed that everyone reads :).     

The above method is also a lot easer then a ton of messages saying "I
missed this.  Please resend" floding the list.
