No no, *now* you're being obtuse. ;^> Sorry, all those
'-archive-archive-archive's strike me as kind of confusing.
Guess that's a decent way to go, though. I suppose nmh-workers is a
low-traffic-enough list that it wouldn't be real painful for the machine
keeping it to have to send out the entire archive in one chunk for people
who want it.
A web interface indexed by a search engine is nice for searching purposes,
but I guess you can do a lot of the same stuff with grep on a collection of
text files. [Is there some way with GNU grep to search for a collection of
keywords that might be on different lines?]

Hey Doug, what list software does nmh-workers run on? Does it have a way to
grab a list of the subscribers?
