R help - Dec 2013 - Problem with http://www.r-project.org/mail.html#instructions

This web page includes this information about turning off HTML in messages:

http://www.r-project.org/mail.html#instructions


    General Instructions

Note that you should configure your e-mail software in such a way as to 
send /only plain text/, i.e., *no HTML*. 'html-ified' messages are 
usually considerably longer (in bytes!) and harder to filter for spam or 
viruses. Many of these (e.g. 'html-only' ones) are currently 
spam-filtered or otherwise intercepted completely and without notice to 
the sender. For more details and instructions on turning off HTML for 
your e-mail software, see here <http://expita.com/nomime.html>.
Furthermore, most binary e-mail /attachments are not accepted/, i.e., 
they are removed from the posting completely. As an /exception/, we 
allow application/pdf, application/postscript, and image/png (and x-tar 
and gzip on R-devel). You can use text/plain as well, or simply paste 
text into your message instead.

However, when I click on the _here_ link, I get a message that the 
server is not available. Perhaps someone can repair that?

Thanks.

David

Thanks for the report, if this is not a temporary problem, we will 
provide an alternative link.

Some search engine suggests that it is mirrored here:

Best,
