It works pretty well but tanks performance of the system under normal (webcrawler) load. It is currently disabled pending review. 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. khm
