Looks like it might be worthwhile to be able to use Gnus to read stuff
at <url:http://www.mailing-list.com>, such as the teTeX list at
<url:http://www.mail-archive.com/tetex%40informatik.uni-hannover.de/>.

Here's some info from Ed Cashin on the bbdb mailing list:

Hi all.  Often, we see requests for or pines about the absence of an
up-to-date archive of this bbdb-info list.  I just saw a thread on the
teTeX mailing list that is interesting.

Thomas Esser, the guy who makes tetex, and owner of the list, signed
up with www.mail-archive.com, and they archive the list for him.
Could work for the bbdb list, maybe.

(forwarded message attached:)

I just have subscribed the tetex, tetex-pretest and tetex-announce lists,
so they'll be archived there from now on. Thanks for that suggestion.

I just did it last night. Since it is not so reliable, I did not
announce it.

Check out the latest CVS. Use `B nnwarchive RET mail-archive RET' in
group buffer to browse the groups.

Sorry - I meant to refer to mail-archive as below:
