Initial Comment:
The archives seem to have trouble with Windows-1252
encoding.  This is from the headers of such message:

Content-Type: text/plain;
        charset="Windows-1252"
Subject: [F1] =?Windows-1252?Q?
RE=3A_=5BF1=5D_=5BF1=5D_Sp=E1_fyrir_Monako?=

The Subject appears like this in the archives instead
of being decoded.

Don't know if this is a bug with the email client
or Mailman but thought I'd mention it, there seems
to be a lot of these things acording to a Google
search for Mailman and Windows-1252.

The bug is in HyperArch.py line 158.  Check out the patch 
attached to bug report #449677 at 
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=449677&group_id=103&atid=100103 
-- actually, I just realized I should upload it to the 
Patches section as well, and will do so now.

The problem is that HyperArch.py assumes charsets are in 
the form \w+ (a-z A-Z 0-9 _ only).  But they can and do 
have other characters like -, as you've seen.  The patch 
is to replace "\w+" in HyperArch line 158 with: ".+?"

This will make it match any character non-greedily up to 
the next ", without going past it.  Hope this helps!
