Chas,
The internal Mailman archiver is Pipermail.

The Mail-Archive is not part of Mailman. It's a mailing list archival 
service provided for free. It will handle archival of almost any list 
management software (Mailman, Majordomo, etc.). GMANE and MARC also 
provide mailing list archival services.
