Hey Richard good to see you on the list!
Welcome aboard.
As far as an archive of the list goes, this list is maintained
by Majordomo which only has an email interface as far as
I know. It's not complex for those who know, but I find
it difficult to use.
As a shameless plug for a different listserver, I have
always used mailman as my listserver which automatically
comes with a web interface for all subscription,
administration, and archiving purposes, is actively
developed and are adding search features soon.
It does everything that Majordomo does as far as I can
tell. The website is http://www.lists.org/
That doesn't help you with your question other than you
can send email to the majordomo list to get an index of
messages and then requests messages from the index.

Will this work with using mc as a web cgi engine too?
We were discussing what cgi architecture to engineer
our web sites with, the only drawbacks to Metacard for
me were those two features, which I deemed unavailable.
1) The regex limitation, which isn't big, but kind
of annoying.
2) The library limitation, which is a more serious problem
if you are going to be investing any significant amount
of time/code into a web site.
I want to use Metacard so I can program in MetaTalk
which will make the port to OpenScript easier. However,
without that librarying capability from the scripting engine
I couldn't consider it a smart idea until I was sure I would
be able to leverage that really cool web widget system
