Hey Pete -- part of the problem is that the digests are not archived
under "leica-users-digest", but under "leica-users".  This is
counter-intuitive, I know, but I think that it's because digest form is
the form in which Majordomo archives lists, even if they're not digests,
and if I remember correctly, the list may have had archives before there
was a digest.  Anyway, you need to ask for leica-users, not
leica-users-digest.  Also, the names are Unix filenames, which is why
they have to be literal -- if you send Majordomo a message saying "index
leica-users", you'll see the filenames.

The form to use for your request is:

    get leica-users v02.n230

etc.  Let me know if you run into more trouble.
