Sorry - I was "out of pocket" on a project for a client for the last
few days, and couldn't review new msg until now.

The archive on the CD is in html - each message appears as the page
one sees when one reads on-line messages. Images are in the format
used when they were downloaded to the photos or attached to the email
messages.

I doubt you will get a following on a usenet group, if usenet is where
you asked for a new group. The name is too hard to promote and have
remembered or be found by potentially interested participants. Why
not just alt.boundarypoint or something simple, for which no
permission is needed?

Regards
