That means it's a great historical resource, and that when providing URLs referencing past discussions, a URL to the Apache email archives is a very good way to do that. I agree that it's a shame there is no decent search facility though. I thought that last year's Google Summer of Code included a project to enhance the apache http mod_mbox to provide search functionality. Do I remember wrong, or did that project not work out?
I don't know anything about a SoC project, but it appears that Google does (or did?) index the mod_mbox files, so you can search them with Google by adding "site:mail-archives.apache.org" to your Google search. -- Martin Cooper Cheers,
