Brian, Linking directly to a news article via nntp:// or news:// urls is possible, and, if you have read access to the the news server's spool directories then you can get htdig to index them (they're just text files, after all). But the tricky part would be to get the Message-ID of the post which is needed to construct the URL. Also nntp:// and news:// urls -- which, except for Opera will cause a new app to launch -- might surprise novice users who don't know about the wonderful world of newsgroups.
The second option you describe below is probably best. If mailman setup is too much work you might look at MHonArc, another news/mailinglist to HTML archiver.

Indexing the static pages and twiki should be no-brainers. I wonder if anyone has a clever way to get the twiki to see newsgroups, though. I was thinking of installing mailman (a mailing list server with web-based list archives) and adding a mail<->news gateway to bridge nntp and http, but that seems to be a very roundabout way of doing this. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Sleepycat Software Learn developer strategies Cisco, Motorola, Ericsson & Lucent use to deliver higher performing products faster, at low TCO. http://www.sleepycat.com/telcomwpreg.php?From=osdnemail3 _______________________________________________ ht://Dig general mailing list: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ht://Dig FAQ: http://htdig.sourceforge.net/FAQ.html List information (subscribe/unsubscribe, etc.) https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/htdig-general ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Sleepycat Software Learn developer strategies Cisco, Motorola, Ericsson & Lucent use to deliver higher performing products faster, at low TCO. http://www.sleepycat.com/telcomwpreg.php?From=osdnemail3 _______________________________________________ ht://Dig general mailing list: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ht://Dig FAQ: http://htdig.sourceforge.net/FAQ.html List information (subscribe/unsubscribe, etc.) https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/htdig-general
