This is a Your Mileage May Vary king of thing. The answer is to get an archiver more suited to your use case. Mailman is designed to allow interfacing to all kinds of useful utilities (and will become even more so in Mailman 3, all hail Barry!), so it can concentrate on subscriber management (especially self-management of subscriptions) and on distribution. In the interest of getting people off the ground fast, it does provide a number of additional utilities (in particular, the archiver, but also spam-filtering, etc). However, these are not the main focus, so simple implementations are all you get in the Mailman package. AFAIK there are no concrete plans to improve the archiver; rather to concentrate on making use of 3rd party archivers easier. (I'm sure contributions would be accepted, of course, but it's not the developers' main priority.) A lot of people like MHonArc as the archiver, but I don't know if it provides a most-recent-first summary page. There are more database-like archivers that provide user options (sorry, no reference offhand) such as sorting order. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
