As I mentioned now and then, here and there, I've put together an World-Wide Web archive of a number of mailing lists accessible via a hierarchical menu system. My system automatically converts the text of the message to HTML, including making HREFs live. The conversion doesn't deal very well with detecting formatted text and it interprets all HTML it finds in the text, since its presence can be ambiguous. Messages are somewhat threaded -- there are pointers to replies in each parent message. The newest addition to this system is a full-text engine for the archived messages. I'm using AppleSearch via a beta of Chuck Shotten's AppleWebSearch.cgi, through MacHTTP. The archives are files that contain complete threads with internal links. This whole system is experimental, so I can't promise it'll always work just as you expect, but it's been fairly stable for several weeks, so I'm comfortable with this informal announcement. You'll find a few menus that might not work exactly as advertised and there are things that are under construction. What you can't see is the system I'm building for creating and maintaining the hierarchical menu system. Enjoy! Feedback, bug reports, suggestions, etc. are welcome. Please e-mail me.
