Then I don't understand what "I was thinking I could get around this by
using a script to automate a log in to the archives and then scraping
the results back to my .htaccess protected folder." means.

Unless, maybe it means that the .htaccess only allows access by IP and
you'd be updating that.

So just have public archives and put the .htaccess in either
/path/to/mailman/archives/private/ or
/path/to/mailman/archives/public/ - either one should do it as long as
you have AllowOverride explicitly or implicitly on the directory.
