I don't believe that it's possible to change this until someone develops working cross-browser Javascript, since there is no organization of web archives that's going to be acceptable so long as every time you click on anything you have to do a round-trip page retrieval from the server. The ideal web archive looks and functions exactly like the user's mail client, but with enhanced search features. This is exactly why Gmane is so cool, because that's close to what it is. (Which indicates to me that the real future of archiving of mailing lists is in read-only IMAP folders.) -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
