I saw a reference to external archivers in the documentation,
but I have not pursued that option.

There are several.
[1] I want most of my archives to be private. The way I'm currently
doing this with MHonarc is setting up a user in my web server
(Netscape Enterprise) and broadcasting the password to the list.
I prefer the use Mailman's user authentication.
[2] I like the way Pipermail automatically breaks the archives up
by {month,quarter,year} and creates an index of indexes. My
larger MHonarc archives get rather cumbersome.
[3] I like the way Mailman/Pipermail obscures the email addresses,
although it could be better.
[4] I'd prefer to maintain only one package.
If these are not valid reasons, please clue me in.

Would you kindly elaborate on these superior features? I've been
using MHonArc for about a year and I don't see much difference.
I've spent a fair amount of time hacking MHonarc configuration
files and I'm still not completely satisfied. Pipermail does what
I want out of the box.
