My GLLUG mail folder contains 45,936 messages as of today, and goes back
to March 26th, 2001. I've been subscribed to GLLUG for longer than that
though - some of the earlier messages predated my IMAP mail setup, and
are no longer on "online" storage, though I think I still have them on a
tape somewhere. I'd say the total list size would probably be somewhere
between 60-75k messages, since GLLUG forked away from ELUG (which now
appears dead), many moons ago.
