I didn't *mean* to be talking about two different things :) I didn't
realize that the OmnisCentral mailman list had a public archive, but I
don't recall checking either way. Regardless, the mailman archives
could be made private if desired. Not sure about admin-only access, but
I think I said that I thought only "maybe".

There's a semi-official patch in the mailman project at sourceforge. It
mates a commonly available html indexer to pipermail, and does a decent
job. I did it for one list I ran at one time, but bailed on it because
it had to be re-hacked with every mailman update. Not worth it.
