<div>Sounds like a good idea to me, but I don&#39;t think<br>
mailman (ccrma&#39;s choice) is ideal.  As you say it&#39;s<br>
not searchable (I actually wasted some time recently<br>
on this).  While doing that I was surprised to see<br>
that cmdist has the &quot;private archive&quot; bit set, which<br>
I think means that only list members can read the archive;<br>
all this time I thought it was publicly readable.<br>
I wonder if it this should be changed?<br>
