Although why one can't use the glimpse engine supposedly provided for
this very purpose is beyond me - what's with the web-based search
engine, huh?
I'd volunteer to set something like that up on my machine, except
that:
1) I have dynamic IP (and haven't yet gotten my ml.org account)
2) I have only one phone line, and often need it for other purposes.
3) I've only been saving all my incoming mail since about
mid-December, so have a very incomplete archive (though I suppose I
could always run a lynx -traverse and suck down the existing archives)
That I should be studying for qualifying exams is probably another
good reason...
Hmmm...
Actually - I wouldn't really necessarily need a web-accessible copy of
the archives on my machine, since I could have a search engine just
return links to the archives on debian.org...
Well, it's something to consider when I get back to school in a week
or two.
