It seems that the links have changed so that the part of the
url that reads:
http:maths.newcastle.edu.au/~rking
needs to be replaced with:
http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au
That is, the link has changed from:
http://maths.newcastle.edu.au/~rking/R/help/04/02/1168.html
to:
http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/04/02/1168.html
Alternately google for the message id, which is:
<20040221000411.C14FC397E at mprdmxin.myway.com>
