The system is sound and what we have is basically an instrumentation error. As far as fixing Lurker, why not use a different archive machine? Even when Lurker works, I find using its representation of email history almost inscrutable. Every other Mailman-run mailing list has a nice, easy archive, although they usually aren't searchable. But then again, neither is Lurker. LOL, a part of me wants to make a new archive representer (assuming the messages are stored in maildir), but I just don't have the time.
