You can use the listserv tools to retrieve posts for a day or a a period of

Send the below message to:
[log in to unmask]
In the body of the message put
//DBlook JOB Echo=No
Database Search DD=Rules
//Rules DD *
select * in parkinsn from 95/1/1 to 95/1/1
index
You will receive a message back from the listserv that looks like this:
> select * in parkinsn from 95/1/1 to 95/1/1
--> Database PARKINSN, 7 hits.
> index

As you can see, the total lines (Recs) in yesterdays messages were less than
600 so you can retrieve them with one message. You can send the the original
message, to the same address: [log in to unmask], and in the body
change the word INDEX to PRINT ALL. The search engine in the body of your
message will look like this:
//DBlook JOB Echo=No
Database Search DD=Rules
//Rules DD *
select * in parkinsn from 95/1/1 to 95/1/1
print all
Within a few minutes, yesterdays messages will reappear, by e-mail.
