It's a mhonarc mail archive (html, but with useful comment bits in it to denote context) with a namazu search backend (namazu comes with a mhonarc plugin that understands the archive format and contextual hints). It generally works pretty well, but there are some funny, non-obvious things that namazu does from a searcher's perspective. - Jeff -- "Laughter is a force for democracy." - John Cleese -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
