There is an archive, but it isn't as easy to access as the one David
cites.  In order to see all the messages from a particular month,
send a message to listserv@ohio.edu.  The text of your message should
say: SEND [PhyloCode]ARCHIVE.YEAR-MONTH

For example, if you wanted to see all of the messages sent in
November, 2000, your message to listserv@ohio.edu would say:
SEND [PhyloCode]ARCHIVE.2000-NOV

There should be nothing else in your message.  Do not include a
signature file.  There cannot be a space between [PhyloCode] and
ARCHIVE.

I'm afraid this system is rather clunky, but it is at least possible
to access old messages if you know when they were sent.

The archive starts in May, 2000.  Before that, the PhyloCode listserv
was hosted elsewhere and lacked an archiving function.

This listserv currently has 78 members.  Based on their
email addresses, they represent at least 15 different countries (USA,
Sweden, Italy, Canada, Australia, Britain, France, Netherlands,
Belgium, Brazil, Austria, Spain, Switzerland, Portugal, and South
Africa).
