John,What I do is send a get linux-vm 0212 command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] every month (changing the file name, of course) and pull down the entire archive. I have a complete set starting from 9812. I grep through them to find what I'm looking for. Very fast, and well worth the 54MB of disk space.
There's a project, grepmail (http://grepmail.sourceforge.net/) that may significantly reduce the 54MB and still allow you to search, including date limits, a compressed mail archive (which compression may actually speed up searching if your I/O time is greater than decompressing). And, of course, MHonArc (http://www.mhonarc.org/) for mail to HTML (but not compressing AFAIK) conversion/searching. - Larry
