I do have the complete set of digests and well as the first few years of recipes stored somewhere, and I am trying to recover many of the files from the (defunct) netimages.com web site. As an aside, I think several members have more complete collections of recipes posted to the list; if you want to donate them back to me I will put them up on the new web site. thanks Mike
