Hello,
I have two questions related to archiving with pipermail.
1° If the archive is made public, will google be able to index it ? 2° Is it possible to cutomise archive pages (list specific customisation) to append ads for instance ?
Thanx.

Yes, see FAQ articles 1.11 and 1.18
Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py
Also try for example >Mailman FAQ: http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Amail.python.org+inurl%3Amailman-users

See FAQ article 4.48 for information on customizing templates.

Thank you for the answer. Sorry I should have checked the faq.
Now I have copied all the template files into lists/test/fr because it is french. I modified all the html files with <head> to include link to personal favicon and added a banner with site logo just below the <body> tag. I did the arch --wipe test and restarted qrunner.
This works well on most pages, though accessing the archives doesn't work anymore.
Here is what I see: 1° since archives are private I get into a page where users have to provide a password. 2° just above the title bar (blue ribbon) there is a short text '%(message)s' showing up. 3° at end of blue ribbon instead of list name I see '%(realname)s' 4° when typing password and click button I see a web page with "Bad Request" message . The URL is .../test/%(action)s/
Another thing I noticed is that before I installed the files, when I accessed the archive page I would see a page in english instead of a french page. Don't know where this comes from and wanted to solve this anyway. I thought this could be a hint for an upstream problem or misconfiguration.
I don't think I messed up with template files since I only insterted text.
Oops sorry, I just found out about the solution. I had a width="100%"
and the % needs to be replaced by %%.
This is only required in some html template files. Apparently those
related to archive management.
Unfortunately there are a few web pages that are not under template control. I have identified two of them regarding user access. One is the page shown up when logging to view archives. The other one is shown when showing page to unsubscribe or remind password. But this is not a showstopper.
