	Yeah, we should ask Barry to get that part of the page updated.

	Sorry, I thought that link was already there.

	I can confirm that there don't seem to be any messages there 
newer than 6 Feb at the moment, but I don't get an htdig error when I 
search.


	An alternative solution is to use Google, and add one of the 
following tags to what you're searching for:

		inurl:www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/
		inurl:mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/

	That way, you can search just about any archive of any public 
mailing list, even if they don't have a separate search engine.
