I'm using MHonarc and HtDig to provide a searchable archive of my email
folders (I'm an email packrat). I got around the authentication by using
the local_urls and local_users_urls in htdig.conf. This only works if
htdig is on the same machine as your archives...but it completely bypasses
the web server that way.
