I'm Grant Griffith's client and that's my/our archive.
It's working well -
http://www.wcmail.net/archives/
I'm real happy with what we've got. Traffic is way up, and sessions last
longer. But it might have been easier for both of us if I could have set it
up myself by checking boxes in a browser window, the way I can set up an
IMail mailing list digest.
I'm a mere host administrator, and I had to consult heavily with Grant about
the ins and outs of mHonArc. mHonArc really has ton of features, and while
an administrator can learn to do any or all of it in time, he really can't
go over ALL the possibilities with a client, at least not one with my
curiosity level. (I like to think I took it easy on Grant!)
Anyway, I'm guessing IMail users would end up with fewer options if and when
an IMail archive comes along, but if clients could set up their own, you'd
see more archives - and archives = eyeballs = satisfied clients..
BTW - the way it's set up, my list messages accumulate in an IMail mailbox
for a few days.
I can write rules for that mailbox in web messaging, or manually delete
certain messages, to get them out of the archive, before it runs.
mHonArc can filter, I guess, but I'm glad I can do it myself.
I would hate to have to involve a middleman every time someone finds a new
way to misspell "unsubscribe"

That was the easy part. We didn't bother setting mHonArc to search the
archive, since I'm a FrontPage client. I just customized an FP generated
search page, and Grant enabled the Microsoft Index server.
