I would be fine with that, because the archives would be appearing in the context of the Finale list's parent site. > Will the people who want us to de-link from OpenSubscriber come up > with an alternative way of searching the list archives?

The information on this list has a very short shelf life because of the yearly upgrade schedule. It seems to me that SHSU ought to be asked, through Henry, to improve the search functionality. I don't know if this is completely linked to mailman or if 3rd-party search is possible. I also don't know if the version of mailman running at SHSU is the latest. But that's where I would start if I were unhappy with the searchability of the archives, by writing to Henry and asking him to investigate with SHSU's IT department about what can be done to improve it. -- David W.
