Ok, thanks!  I just looked at pipermail.  Apparently there is a built in
pipermail.

My one complaint about Mhonarc is that it is slow.  Not only that, but as
the archive gets larger, it gets slower.  With 1000 postings in a
directory, adding another one is horrifyingly slow.

htdig is not my favorite either.  I dumped it in favor of google as well!

Thanks for the information!
