The reason that I made the archive at http://www.suares.nl/qmail-ldap/archive searchable, was that when I wanted to look something up that I knew someone (Henning mostly ;-) had explained, I could not find it using the threads. In my first try at indexing the archive, the engine indexed also the references to the previous and next message, which gave a LOT of false hits. I modified mailman/HyperArch to include some tags so htdig would not search those references. Now I am pretty sure I can find whatever I want even inside broken threads. But when that message I find reads just: "Yes, you have to set <variable>" without qouting why and how etc, then I am lost, especially when threading is broken... so, please quote (more or less) properly, it helps people... _Ace
