Mailman archives are just as crappy, if not crappier. And they know it.
It's based on Hypermail; I note that Hypermail's latest version happened
on 2003. The Mailman guys are rethinking the issue; see

Somebody suggests Lurker as one alternative:
http://lurker.sourceforge.net/
It is a very different interface. Perhaps we could try it as an
experiment. I have seen the Debian lists under it and it feels really
martian.
I don't want to lose Mhonarc, at least not for the moment. It is
powerful and customizable and has served us reasonably well for a very
long time. (Longer than most of us, actually.)
