[Mailman-Users] wishlist addition

[Jeff Stern]

hi, i didn�t see this on http://mailman.sourceforge.net/todo.html but it would be nice if, with mailman�s archives pages (whether organized by thread, subject, or author, or date) the user were not limited to searching by month only.

for instance, on the mailman-based mailing list, �gimp-user�, for the gnome �gimp� project (http://www.gimp.org), you can go to that mailing list�s archives, at http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/lists/gimp-user/ . but if you want to do a search for the word, �startup� (such as discussions on the gimp startup options), you have to painstakingly click through searches on **1 month at a time**. (i would use the htdig search facility they added, but it is broken as of today).

for instance, i click on �View by Thread� under �December 2002�. then getting to that month, i hit �Ctrl-F� in my browser to search through the message subject headers for my word. not finding it, i have to back out and choose november 2002. and so on, all the way back to november 1997, when that list apparently started.

it would be nice if i could get in a single page a listing of subject headers for the full archive, from the web site, and be able to use my browser�s Ctrl-F search function on that single page. i realize for some lists it would be long, and with a simple warning, the user would be forewarned, and could continue if she/he wanted.

thanks,
jeff stern
