The archives on Wayne's ftp server are simple text files. With Netscape 4.XX it was possible to pretend they were mail folders and NS would create an index. Then you could use NS to search messages.
I think this (the import) is not possible with IE. Of course, you can use whatever tool to find strings in those archives...
