how can I browse the The freebsd-questions Archives tar files!

Giorgos,
Thanks for your response, now I can view the mail by ping and Solaris 
mailx ,but still cann't
by mutt, maybe the reason is that I'm currently view mail on a Solaris 
box and I'll test it on
my Fbsd box this night ,

At last I see the beatuful world!

Thanks a ton,
huajian
