+<question>
+<para
+>Is there a mailing list archive?</para>
+</question>
+<answer>
+
+<para
+>Yes, there is a searchable mailing list archive hosted by <ulink url="http://www.progressive-comp.com"
+>Progressive Computer Concepts</ulink
+>. The &URL; is <ulink url="http://lists.kde.org"
+>http://lists.kde.org</ulink
+>. There you will see a folder listing of the mailing lists. Note that you can only do a subject/author search at this level. You probably will not find what you want doing this kind of search.</para>
+
+<para
+>To do a body search, you have to enter one of the mailing lists. Just click on the folder you want to search (&eg; <quote
+>kde</quote
+> or <quote
+>kde-user</quote
+>) and then the pull-down menu by the search box will default to <quote
+>Body</quote
+> searches. To be thorough, you should probably search the <quote
+>kde</quote
+>, <quote
+>kde-user</quote
+>, and <quote
+>kde-devel</quote
+> folders. </para>
