MsgGroup addressed virtually every relevant issue related to EMail use or system design. According to Stefferud, "You will find much of the history of Internet EMAil there, including the first really huge flamefast, and the underpinings of the current EMail architectural model." The archive is 5289 kilobytes in leth, includes more than 2600 messages from 100-200 individuals. Stefferud collected and preserved the archive on ECL.USC.EDU at Network Management Associates, Inc's expense. Franck Wancho at White Sands Proving Ground copied and preserved it on SIMTEL-20 and Edward Vielmetti obtained a copy in 1990 to make it available through MSEN to the Internet community. When .i.Stefferud, E; was elected President of Network Management Associates, Inc., he decided to donate the archive to The Computer Museum to make available to the Internet community. Stefferud explained, "The MsgGroup archives really belong collectively to all the contributors, and not to anyone in particular. I determined that The Computer Museum is the proper holder nad preserver of the archives, in the interests of the MsgGroup contributors." Using software donated from First Virtual, the archive is available for a minimal fee. Donated by Einar Steffurd, President of Network Managmeent Associates, Inc. representing the MsgGroup contributors. E1.95. Electronic Associates
