Anders,
explain?
There is NO search tool for the mailing list archives. Other than maybe Google, which tends to be kinda spotty.
Typing lists site:lists.suse.com topic into google, where "topic" is whatever you're searching for, works as well as using my mail client's search function to seach through my suse-linux-e mail folder.
And, what if they joined this list to ask for help about filtering? Or if they're on a dial-up connection, where each e-mail takes 30 seconds to download?
So how is it going to be faster if it's web based? It takes me five minutes to download all my mail (which contains this list and a few which make this one appear low volume), run it through my virus checker and spamassassin. Then I can disconnect and read it at my leisure. If it's web based, I *have* to stay online to read the mail and reply to it - which costs money in just about every country outside of the US. And for what it's worth, you _can_ read all the posts online at http://lists.suse.de/ Hans
