Hi Jon,
        I've been looking to scrape the caiman-discuss web archives[1] for 
Flag Day messages to post on our build server's status page. I may be able 
to automated it updating the Caiman OpenSolaris website too.

        I think a quick and dirty way to scrape is:
webRoot="http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/caiman-discuss/2009-April";; \
wget -O - ${webRoot}/thread.html 2>/dev/null| \
grep Flag.Day| \
sed "s#HREF=\"#HREF=\"${webRoot}#"

                                                        Thank you,
                                                        Clay
