I wrote this app, and it works for medium- to low-quantity lists, but
absolutely wrecks the server for something like 9fans.  The app is
mostly awk and can be found at

http://code.9front.org/hg/mdir/file/7bc6acff8550/app.rc

I recommend that this app be converted to a script that can be run from
a cron job to generate static html which werc would easily be able to
serve.  Mailing list archives are theoretically append-only and I don't
think it would kill anyone if messages did not appear on the web
interface until some delay.
