Director of UEA Information Services Jonathan Colam-French responded today to my Jan. 24th. request for an internal review. It makes for some interesting reading. Since Steve Mc has been “mia”, I’ll post up the response for discussion in a different venue when I get a chance.

I have to admit, this whole affair is highly arcane and takes a bit of back-reading to make any sense of. Having done so, however, I’m appalled at the frank stonewalling exhibited by the U. of East Anglia. How anybody can take anything this outfit says, about the climate or anything else, at face value is beyond me. Kudos to CA for the perseverance in pursuing what must have been an immensely frustrating and time-consuming matter!

UEA’s use of ‘the cyber dog ate my homework’ excuse wore out a long time ago, and now there is more:

WillR,

Good point.

Eudora version#s are present in a number of CG1-CG2 email headers. Grep using “Eudora” and scan the results.

I recall seeing version 7.1 in one of the Briffa headers, which is why I used it.

Re: bmcburney (Jan 13 16:41), Good point...but it might be a long stretch to show exactly who deleted them.

mbx files have no internal properties– the only properties are preserved by the hosting OS i.e. created, modified, perms, etc. T[able] O[f] C[ontent] files do have an internal structure which varies across platforms and version; but these are generated from mbx files.

If you are looking for date ranges of email contained in an archive decompress the files, grep for from: cut everything but the date and year, sort and extract the first and last lines.

I think the properties will only show the date of the last modification and at best, modification and creation, which are probably the same as these are backup files. If you haven’t seen my reply email yet, please check your spam folder. Sometimes my emails land there.

If people are going to test they may want to re-create the conditions of the time. Older versions of Eudora can be obtained.
