we discussed this at the ml. It would be really cool to have a very
simple and minimal mailing list web interface. Of course it should be
static and allow downloading in one way or another.
For maximum simplicity, one could imagine a program that just recurses
the mail folders, creates a mail file list, reads each mail file and
extracts meta-information, then does a sorting and generates an index
for each.
This approach would also make it simple to create a Gopher index as
well.
With best regards
