This may seem a stupid sugestion, but since almost all lists have an archive: I was thinking why instead of receiving the traffic from the list as a digest (my case) why can't there be an option (other than text and mime) for just receiving an email with the URLs for each entry of the traffic of the day. Advantages: 1- would "send" each email on demand 2- I wouldn't receive big emails which I tend to trash instead of saving
Disavantages: 1- greater http traffic 2- if I wanted to read the email a few days latter (not anymore in my cache) it would be a new request for the web page

It's be a great idea, but it requires that the web archives be fully integrated into mailman, and they aren't. You need some way to store stuff for web access, and you need a way to be able to refer to those URLs from mailman when it generates the digest. Right now, none of that logic exists -- the web archives mailman ships with are grafted onto the side, and the two speak only though a one-way interface.
It's a lot of work, and there's really no way to fake it, unfortunately.
