As a newcomer I feel the lack of searching pretty acutely, because I
often want to know if something has been discussed before.  So, I had
qmail cough up all the messages posted so far, indexed them with
MHonArc, and ht://dig.  The result is at 

        http://www.red-bean.com/mab/svn-dev/

And everyone is welcome to use it. :-)

There is one major point of suckage:

  The ezmlm `get' command doesn't, by default, return the References:
  and In-Reply-To: headers.  So, the threading of old messages is by
  Subject: only.  If some kind soul wants to edit the `digheaders'
  file, I can snarf the messages again and fix this.  New messages
  should be threaded properly.

And one minor point of suckage:

  ht://dig indexes web pages, not mail messages, so it indexes all the
  MHonArc crap, and doesn't tell you about author and date in its
  search results.  But it's what I know.  If you know a better
  package, let me know.

Comments/requests to me, but anybody else with root on red-bean is
more than welcome to make fixes/enhancements without consulting me.
All you need is in ~mab/svn-dev.
