[iPAQ] Re: [Handhelds] HH.org FAQ

Having had positive feedback both on and off the list I will have a look at
knocking something up over the weekend.

I already have a number of questions (both my own, regular questions on the
lists and existing FAQ questions) and I will attempt to put answers to
these questions.

I have spent some time looking for the XML DTD and have failed miserably.
I will, therefore, come up with one myself and possibly create a
sub-project in the process.

Can someone point me at an online archive of the lists or alternatively,
arrange to send me all the mail so that I can use it for reference. If
there isn't an online version of the lists and someone can supply me with
copies of the mail I will think about setting this up.
