searching archives OT (but worth the look)
Archiver
Posts: 46,084
PGOffline is a simple database that has what is needed to coax Yahoo
to let people see the archives.
If you don't know, Yahoo restructured the list some months ago and
eleminated archiving any attachements. But, it also limited a search
to the last 250 posts.
PGOffline will allow you to keep the entire archives on your hard
disk (or CD) and search them at your leasure.
I have no financial involvment with Wilson or PGOffline, just a very
satisfied customer.
Just to let you know what type of guy he is, when yahoo was pulling
the plug, he released a no-holds barred version for free so anybody
could pull the old files. Most would see that as a time to raise the
prices.
I think now, the demo IS the full version, no limits. But check it
out for yourself.

The program to import the messages into is here:
http://www.personalgroupware.com/groupmanager/pg-offline-4-0-849.zip
Its a commercial program with a 30 day trial but when the trail runs out you still have access to all the data.
The only thing you can't do once the trial ends is get new messages from the group but as the group is closed, that's a feature you won't miss.
Cheers,
