You'll do far better at the OLDER archives:

After searching my own archives and finding only one thread (April 6-11,
2000) with subject-header, Rom 1:1 KLHTOS APOSTOLOS, I checked first the
new archives (and found nothing relevant at all), but then the old
archives; there I found that thread on KLHTOS APOSTOLOS along with several
others. In general, I think one does far better searching by key Greek
words (spelled out in the conventional BG transliteration scheme, of
course) in the passage you're looking for. I must say, however, that the
search engine in the Eudora program has been the surest way for me to find
stuff in (my own) BG (Eudora-mailbox-formatted) archives.
