As the author/integrator of a good chunk of the MailMan webarchiving code, I will agree with you heartily. Static files are a pain.
PS: I am actually in the middle of writing a Zope mailinglist archiver product called MessageBase.
I cannot use MailMan on my site because its interface is not appropriate, but I would be extremely interested in Zope archiving products. Specifically, I use Listar, which can generate archives in various formats including mbox or mh. One of my frustrations with many of the existing tools out there is that they are extremely poor at dealing with large lists. For instance, they may lump all the posts together at once, which is terrible for a list that may have tens of thousands of posts. Or, they may introduce an artificial barrier between months; again, this is terrible -- threads do not end when the month does. -- John Goerzen Linux, Unix consulting & programming jgoerzen@complete.org | Developer, Debian GNU/Linux (Free powerful OS upgrade) www.debian.org | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Remote from DFW airport
