Contributions sent to this list are automatically archived. You can get a list of the available archive files by sending an "INDEX HUMOR" command to LISTSERV@LISTSERV.UGA.EDU. You can then order these files with a "GET HUMOR LOGxxxx" command, or using LISTSERV's database search facilities. Send an "INFO DATABASE" command for more information on the latter. Typically, the logs are held for six months or so.
We want to find the Digest for April 28, 1999. The first thing we have to
do is request the list of the logs from the listserver. From: L-Soft list server at UGA (1.8d)

By looking at the above listing from the listserver, you see that each log contains a few days of Digests, starting on a particular day. We have to find the Digest for April 28, 1999. The listing says this Digest would be in LOG9904D or LOG9904E. Now we want to request those logs. I will not show the result from that request.
