This is something I've been looking into my own organization. The
message ids are at the start of the archive web pages. For example your
e-mail here I'm replying to begins like this if you look at the page
source:

I was thinking of writing something that scraped the archives building a
lookup table out of this information. What would be nice is if the
X-Message-Id and X-Reference were both put into the regular HTML for
future archived messages so that it's more likely tools like Google
could search based on them. A brief glance at the MHonArc documentation
suggests that could be run to re-covert any existing messages that are
still available in order to add to those even.
We are sucking a lot of this data down to the db on
search.postgresql.org already. Does it make sense to do it there
perhaps? Is there need for anything more than a unique-messageid-hit? If
that's all we need, we could easily have an url like
http://search.postgresql.org/[EMAIL PROTECTED] redirect
to the proper page on archives?
