 * Hi Peter:
 * I am afraid I had no success in the end. I had the same results as you (well 
   except occasionally it would produce a random link) and gave up on it. I am afraid
   that I resorted to the old html code in an ul and hard coding each newsletter
   in. It’s a bit of a pain considering I am sure these links are automatically 
   generated but I can’t get mailpoet to provide them. Shame, otherwise a pretty
   nice plugin.
 * I happen to be looking at this just now. I really don’t understand why mailpoet
   doesn’t just provide an archive that you can review your old newsletters in. 
   It is a royal pain to try to find a link to the newsletter and try to keep track
   of those links constantly. If there were an archive that all mailed went into
   it would be much easier.

 * My bad. I created the archive widget myself using the shortcode and a small script.
   That was not my main issue. What I was trying to say is you should have an archive
   widget.
 * As for the shortcode itself, it’s not that it totally doesn’t work. It does something
   but not what I would think the intention is.
 * Using the shortcode
 * [mailpoet_archive]

 * If I hack around a bit I can get it to show the newsletter linked as in
 * [Newsletter is linked](https://s1.postimg.org/10chhp4npb/Screenshot_from_2017-10-31_10-40-15.png)
   as you can see in the shot.
 * I would think the second is how it is intended to work. I could be wrong, since
   I don’t see the forums filled with questions about this it either means I am 
   the only one who is interested in this or I have done something wrong to create
   this issue. Any guidance would be appreciated.
