Why are users of Mailman running Mhonarc?
Pipermail does not fully soppport MIME, character sets, customisation of the generated HTML, alternate indexing forms, or embedded CGI behaviours such as being able to post replies from the web archives, or search indexes.
Is this because the Mailman archives are not searchable?
That's one reason.
When you run Mhonarc you can use something like htDig or Gview (is it?) to search the archive ... Why can't these programs search the Mailman archive?
They can.
And finally ... does anyone know how to create multiple list archives with Mhonarc? (I know this should be a question best placed elsewhere, but I'm a Linux newb and I'm dabbling right now)
There are several ways to do it. You can configure Mailman internally to use MHonArc instead of Pipermail, or yuo can subscribe an archiver address to each list and then use procmail to handle the automation. (I do the later).
