search engine for the archives?

[Sean McMahon]

Yeah that's a good idea I don't even know how to get to the archives.  Each html
page could be titled with the subject of the mail message.  So then perl would
just have to search the directory with the subjects of the e-mail  you're
grepping The other way do do this is to create a small database but that might
be more complex.
