Mailman rocks. This is one of the best looking/working products (freeware or not) around!
I would be interested in having more WebBBS type features for our less savvy and more impatient users. Specifically this would mean the ability to reply to a message in the archive from a web page without being a list member. Has anyone done anything like this already? If not, is there a way to pipe mail into Mailman and get it to temporarily ignore if the user is signed up?
Has anyone out there added search capabilities to the archiving? Perhaps interfaced it to MhonArc or another archiver that already provides search?

For web based replies and such, you might want to look at hypernews instead. www.hypernews.org
I agree an interface to MHonarc would be nice. This would also allow MIME attachments to be viewed directly from the web. The current mailman archiver doesn't do a good job here.

There are all kinds of messages in the archives about using other archivers. I think Paul Hebble posted a patch to use MHonArc around August 4th or so.
For what it's worth, MHonArc does not have any search capabilities either. You need to use an add-on package like Wilma or Marc-search (or home-grown based on glimpse/htdig).

I have tried to set up htdig to search the archives. The problem is that you get multiple similar results since pipermail sets up the archives based on different criteria (Subject, Author...etc).
I haven't been able to limit htdig to only come up with one article once. The only way to do this seems to be if you could use wild-cards in "exclude urls" in htdig, but you can't in the current version.
Has anyone found a way around this?
