Richard and all - I got it. These patches are not nearly as painful to install as you might have gathered from these emails. First, make sure to use HTDIG_MAILMAN_LINK, instead of DIR - that will break things. Second, HTDIG_RUNDIG_PATH = '/path/to/rundig', not /path/to/htdig Aside from these

Richard, I was half way through writing another email to explain where I was at. You nailed the situation down with this one. I had missed the in obvious and replaced LINK with DIR - must have stopped thinking for a little. Since then, I had blow it away, and correctly configured it.

For searching, I personally use the list archives found at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/ rather than the one at python.org. The searches are fast, and there are actually several technical lists there that I read/search (bind, dhcp). It's all database driven...probably a lot more than you'd want

Thanks for the answers to my previous question, they were very much appreciated. I just have one more: Does Mailman provide a feature for searching archives? I know it can list and store archives, but I havent seen anything about searching them. If not, would a CGI search script do the job?
