I completely agree- for those who might not be aware of this problem, I've
added some brief notes at
http://www.cryst.bbk.ac.uk/PPS2/about/pages.html#cache
and added the advisory message on the mail index page.

Thanks for pointing this out. We still have this script- Dave Houldershaw
got it running again but I've modified the procedure so that the modified
(i.e. new) hypermail files are listed separately from the other modified
files. Only new archived mail messages need be listed (index pages such as
pps96-technical/9601 are in any case updated every hour by hypermail, so
arent included)
New mail files at: http://www.cryst.bbk.ac.uk/PPS2/since_mail.html
New/modified files in the remainder of the Course Hypertree:
