R help - Apr 2012 - Missing CRAN Mirror

Hello R community,
This isn't a technical question about R:
I have used 
http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/R/CRAN/ as my mirror for some time now.  As of a few
days now I don't seem to be able to use this mirror.  The link from CRAN to
this repository does not work either.  Does anyone know the fate of this
repository?
Cheers,Tyler Rinker

I don't know. (The R-repo was part of StatLib which also seems to be  
currently unresponsive to browser queries, so it's more likely a  
server-wide issue. I checked the CMU Stats Dept website:
http://www.stat.cmu.edu/
  and can find no announcements of service issues.)  I used to use it,  
too, but it became less reliable in recent months and I switched over  
to using the repo at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle:

Tyler;

You should investigate whether Hotmail allows you to send plain text  
mail. I've checked Gmail and yahoo and Nabble and they all support  
plain text.
