Unfortunately, the link to the maillists on www.lists.org doesn't point to that archive. Wouldn't it be much better to change that link to point to a searchable archive instead of having users subscribe to the list because they can't search for an answer?

Yeah, we should ask Barry to get that part of the page updated.


Sorry, I thought that link was already there.

 Hm, looking at
 http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/
 I see that this archive is somewhat slow, it doesn't contain any messages
 newer than Feb 06 and a search produces an htdig error.

I can confirm that there don't seem to be any messages there newer than 6 Feb at the moment, but I don't get an htdig error when I search.



An alternative solution is to use Google, and add one of the following tags to what you're searching for:


                inurl:www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/
                inurl:mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/

That way, you can search just about any archive of any public mailing list, even if they don't have a separate search engine.
