321828 - The email lists themselves are not efficient for daily work, but the
321829 - fact that a complete archive is being maintained provides a backup for
321830 - obtaining particular files if there is not enough time from day-to-day
321831 - to manage everything with SDS.

Feedback Corrects Record on 010605 Eugene Does Not Recall Saying OHS/
Knowledge Management Not Well Enough Understoon to Develop Technology

3404 -
340501 -  ..
340502 - Feeback Correcting the Record Requires Support
340503 -
340504 - Sent an email to OHS/DKR congratualting Eugene for this
340505 - important advance, and asked if this helps people feel comfortable
340506 - working on knowledge support, which has also a sticking point since
340507 - 000120, ref SDS 15 5063, again on 000503, ref SDS 26 5033, and in the
340508 - meetings at SRI on 000615, ref SDS 33 6271, later on 000928,
340509 - ref SDS 42 X57F, and recently on 010605. ref SDS 82 RU5O
340511 -  ..
340512 - Eugene wrote back to the group today and stated....
340513 -
340514 -       I will note that your records need correction.  You state,
340515 -       "Eugene explained the OHS/DKR project has stepped away from
340516 -       thinking about knowledge, reported on 000615."  I most certainly
340517 -       never made that claim, especially considering that it is not
340518 -       true and that I never had the authority to make such a
340519 -       statement.
340520 - ..
340521 - Eugene's feedback aligns with Mary Keeler's report to the team
340522 - at SRI on 000518 explaining that knowledge requires continual
340523 - refinement. ref SDS 31 O43M  Eugene's comments therefore help build a
340524 - culture of knowledge.
340526 -  ..
340527 - Entered notice in the record on 010605 of Eugene's comment today.
340529 -  ..
340530 - Responded via email to the OHS/DKR team thanking Eugene for feedback,
340531 - and requested support of the proposed correction in the form of a
340532 - contemporaneous record in light of 8 months elapsed time (on 020204 a
340533 - similar circumstance was reported concerning Arthur Anderson and
340534 - Enron, ref SDS 83 QF5I), the fact that this is the only correction
340535 - received on the record for 010608, and the record on 010608 aligns
340536 - with prior records on 000503, 000615, and 00928, per above.
340537 - ref SDS 0 QR5O
340538 - ..
340539 - The issue in the record on 010608 relates to the definition of
340540 - knowledge and the distinction from information.  Eugene does not say
340541 - today what he did say on 010608, so merely saying what was not said
340542 - does not support changing the record in light of the broader context.
340544 -  ..
340545 - Eugene does not say anything today about the definition of knowledge
340546 - in relation to information.  If the record on 010605 is incorrect,
340547 - where is the record showing the OHS/DKR team has make any progress on
340548 - creating technology for knowledge management?

350426 -      MHonArc is a Perl program for converting e-mail messages as
350427 -      specified in RFC 822 and the MIME standard to HTML. MHonArc can
350428 -      perform the following tasks:
350429 -
350430 -        •  Convert MH mail folders or UUCP/Unix style mailboxes into an
350431 -           HTML mail archive.
350432 -
350433 -        •  Add or remove messages to an existing HTML mail archive
350434 -           generated by MHonArc.
350435 -
350436 -        •  <HN32 Convert a single message to HTML.
350438 -       ..
350439 -      Along with these tasks, MHonArc provides the following:
350440 -
350441 -        •  A main customizable index for mail messages archived.
350442 -        •  A customizable thread index listing messages by thread.

350460 -     Internet Mail Extensions (MIME). MIME extends the format of
350461 -     Internet mail to allow non-US-ASCII textual messages, non-textual
350462 -     messages, multipart message bodies, and non-US-ASCII information
350463 -     in message headers.

350469 -        Since its publication in 1982, RFC 822 has defined the standard
350470 -        format of textual mail messages on the Internet. Its success
350471 -        has been such that the RFC 822 format has been adopted, wholly
350472 -        or partially, well beyond the confines of the Internet and the
350473 -        Internet SMTP transport defined by RFC 821. As the format has
350474 -        seen wider use, a number of limitations have proven
350475 -        increasingly restrictive for the user community.
