I have written something which can parse messages to this list and store
them in an SQL database (including MIME attachments) so in principle the
archive can be displayed in any format. HTML is easiest though. The SQL
engine should provide enough searching capability.
Does anyone have objections to their name and/or Email address appearing
in the archived messages? Needless to say, it's not going to be used for
anything, sold, used for junk mail, etc. But if the archive is on the
Net, other people will be able to see your address if they care to look.
I can remove Email addresses from the From: field quite easily if people
want this, and I can blank out the same address if it appears in the body.
However, blanking out the sender's name is trickier as often it appears in
the body in a differently from the From: field (eg the From: field might
be "Bloggs, Joe E." and the signature at the end might be "Joe Bloggs").
