The archive software does a pretty poor job at making
the files available. It gives them generic names like "zip000001.zip"
and you have to cross reference them to the message. Unfortunately I've
found some messages that reference the same file for two different
messages.
In any event, I've hacked up an indexing script listing all the attachments with
a ".zip" or ".pl" extension, that is cross-referenced with the message
that it was attached to. This can be found at http://www.httptech.com/archives/

Yes, thanks for letting me know. It turns out that Glimpse, the engine that drives
the search pages is segfaulting whenever a search is done, so zero results come back
to the CGI. I've installed a new perl-based search engine here:
http://www.httptech.com/perl-win32-gui/search.cgi
I'll be replacing the old interface with this one shortly.
This one is not an indexing search engine; it searches the message files in real-time,
so it's going to be a little slower than Glimpse.
