If you break up a list into a set of archives (broken down by month), efficiency should no longer be a problem. I know you have had some reluctance about this, mainly for low traffic lists, but I believe in general it will be the best. An idea is to do the regular monthly-based archives for all lists, but have a complimentary "latest messages" archive for the last X number of messages. This way the monthly archives definitely serve as a more "archiving" function while the latest messages archive is geared to more current discussions and serves like a newsgroup where older message eventually expire (but are still present in the monthly archives). --ewh _______________________________________________ Gossip mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://jab.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gossip
