If you have a collection of mailing list archives from Mailman (example here) is there a good way to make them searchable from a web-based interface?

i've used htdig for this task with several different mailing list programs - majordomo, ecartis, and mailman.

htdig can be used with Mailman's own pipermail, but i find the combination of mhonarc (to create a nice browsable archive - IMO far better/more flexible than pipermail) and htdig to be particularly good.

Make it public, and then just let google index them. You can even make a google custom search that will search just your website.

Google do search quite well, and it's completly headache free.
