Indeed. From my experience writing Pipermail, I'm becoming
increasingly convinced that it's better to create e-mail archives as
databases instead of static files that are created by a script,
because static files lack flexibility. What do you do with the back
archives when you decide to switch from quarterly to monthly, or
monthly to weekly? Storing things in a database & rendering them on
the fly would grant more flexibility. (No, I'm not volunteering to
write anything.)
