[Hcoop-discuss] Web-enabled searching of the mailing list

[Justin Hart]

I don't really see any reason not to have ht://dig crawl the email
archives, aside from fear of spam attacking email account from bots
eating the email addresses off of the web interface.  As long as we
put that behind password protection, we should be safe from such
monstrosities.
