OK, so I bounced a mail there from mutt, and their archiver
picked it up correctly and created
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/

But until Richard gets around to fixing up the subscription, I'll
have to continue to bounce over any more recent mail for it to
get archived. (Although anyone else can also do it I suppose.)

I did that. They just mailed me to let me know it's being
imported and the web-accessible archives are already populated
quite a bit. (Dunno how much of it.)

The thread/date indices only list the most recent 3000 messages
anyway. That's only the indices though -- message permalinks work
indefinitely far into the past, and their search engine is not
limited to the 3000 most recent either.

So now we have at least a somewhat reliable solution to refer to
stuff posted here.
