With regard to the second point below, the risk is that users unfamiliar with the site will, as I did, use the prominent search button in the left-hand column, rather first than clicking on the (rather less-prominent) «Search mailing list archive» button, and then on the «search body» alternative. Having a multitude of choices at one's disposal can, indeed, be quite useful at times, but considering the needs of OOo novices, it might here be best to remove the first-named search button entirely, and instead highlight the «Search mailing list archive» button....
