Mailman-with-Pipermail sort of does have this now, but it's in a silo that's not really accessible outside that small part of the system. I've already defined a message store interface (which may or may not be sufficient), and storing messages there is exactly what I want to do. Besides, I think the state of open source archivers is sadly very lacking. -Barry
