Good point about private archives. It can take a lot of disk space, though. At one point we tried to upgrade to a newer version of htdig and it promptly went and completely overflowed the disk partition. Now, I wouldn't be at all surprised if that could be blamed on my lack of experience in configuring it, but it is something to watch out for. > Also HTDig can find/index local items that are not advertised normally > via the web.

That would work if we didn't add other patches and require that mailman be packaged with the system packaging facility (currently rpm). But, as long as you don't mind installing from source and you can keep track of things, sure, go for it.
