most mailing lists (especially perl) are accessible through News Groups.
You can acces news groups with Outlook (or any other), however, many are accessible through the internet. If I'm correct, they also have a search function, which is exactly what you're looking for. You declared as typing "regex" and so on, most interactive (and newsgroups too) provide these functionallities.

Date: Wed, 11 Dec 2002 13:05:57 -0800 (PST)Mystik, Thanks, but that's not what I'm looking for. That's the first archive of this group I found. You can get a list of threads or a list of postings arranged by date, but I don't see a way to type in, say, "regular expression" and get back all of the posts that contain the phrase "regular expression". Someone gave me a link that goes direct to a Google advanced search page for the perl.beginners newsgroup. That lets me search. But that leads me to more questions. Is this group just a front end to that newsgroup? Is the perl.beginners newsgroup directly accessible through Google? I managed to get there through the search link, but I didn't get there through Google's front page. Do posts via E-mail eventually show up through Google?
