I'm in the process of migrating from ezmlm to mailman.
So far everything is working great. I've even been able
to migrate ezmlm list archives to mailman so that
I can see the messages via the mailman web interface.

One of the goals of this migration is to be able to
use a Google Search Appliance to search the list
archives. What I've found is that the archive for
each list is in /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/listname,
and in this directory are

        1) a directory for each month containing the messages
        submitted during the month in HTML format.
        
        2) a file for each month containing all the messages
        for the month in text format concatenated together.

I'm trying to figure out the best way to search the archive
with a GSA. I'm worried that if I search #1 I'll find what
I want but it will be in HTML format which won't be very
easy to read. If I search #2 I'll find what I want but I'll
see the whole file, which will also contain a bunch of stuff
I'm not looking for.

Has anybody worked through these issues with a GSA? I'd be
interested in hearing how you did it.

Cordially,
Jon Forrest
