Mailing lists play a role probably unhealthly large in my daily life, work, and organizing, so I’m inordinately interested in list archivers. My favorite current setup is one we use for TechFed where everything gets piped to a news server, and from there to a web discussion forum, but if you’re going to go with a pure mail archiving solution, the simple aesthetics and intuitiveness of a Mailman archive can’t be beat. Unforunately the MIME handling, searching, post removal, and general list maintence of Mailman’s pipermail based solution is, ummm, less ideal. So the search continues.

Archive is new entrant into the a field which will crowded can always use a little more competition. Their interface looks like a blend of Sympa, Google News. in equal portions. Written in Python, and used by the Mono, and OSAF groups I assume its open source, but find no way to download it.
