The drama of it all! (I'm actually very gratified that someone is reading
these archives.)
The problem is this. We use hypermail from EIT, a very cool company that
might not exist anymore (which implemented shttp back in 1994 but lost the
standards war to Netscape.) Anyway, hypermail is free software and it has some
bugs. From time to time, there are funky new-style mail headers or attachments
(IMAP4) that cause the program to core dump in the middle of processing. The
fix is to delete the offending letter or attachment.
It might take several hours before the updated web page is mirrored to
the external site.

The SSL productization and marketing questions are supposed to be
straightened out very soon. Sorry for the frustration in this.
