## Downloading list archives

The MapServer-Users and MapServer-Dev mailing lists have been migrated to the new OSGeo list server. One of the benefits of this migration is that you no longer need an account to download or read the archives. To access the MapServer archives, simply point your browser to http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/mapserver-users/ and download the gzipped file or click on the link. For MapServer-Dev archives, go to http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/mapserver-dev/.
