An experiment with preparing and encoding a sampling of the public TEI-listserv archive with TEI Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC) This repo was made by @ebeshero and shared with @sydb

About the archive

• The TEI-L Listserv begins in 1990 and continues over 3+ decades and multiple university servers (and is continuing)
• The archive is a good way to learn about the history of text formats and character encoding used in e-mail messages from the 1990s onward
• These ASCII characters not permitted in XML are important in our project because we need to escape them in order to prepare an archive in TEI XML.
• We are attempting to encode the listserv by combining TEI encoding for letter correspondence and CMC (computer-mediated communication).
• Slides for our presentation at TEI 2024
