My recommendation would be to use a real mailing list manager like mailman instead...
Really? That bad? I mean, if you're sure, I'll follow your advice. Mailman is certainly easier to install and well documented. But...and it's a big but (no pun intended)...the beauty of Mail Boxer is that it all gets included in the Data.fs, so it can be searched. I await your comment. Thanks, Nancy

There is also the possibility of PlonePostoffce. That means that your mailinglist is managed by something like mailman, and your Plone site is one of the subscribers. (takes a little procmail to post the incoming mail to a script). In that way you can easily create a mailinglist archive on a Plone site. (I have not tried it on a zope site outside of plone) -- __________________________________________________ "Nothing is as subjective as reality" Reinoud van Leeuwen reinoud.v@n.leeuwen.net http://www.xs4all.nl/~reinoud __________________________________________________

If you want a mailing list manager, use a mailing list manager. If you want a web application framework, use Zope ;-)
Mailman is certainly easier to install and well documented.
...not to mention having one or two more users ;-)

That, quite frankly, would terrify me for all but one or two small to medium sized mailing lists ;-)
so it can be searched.
Look into solutions for providing mailman with searchable archives, since this is your real problem. That said, if these lists aren't private, I'd just dispose of the whole problem and use google groups or similar. cheers, Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk
