[Rhodes22-list] Archive

[Michael Meltzer]

Thier are 2 package I am looking into, both should do a good job. Right now
I got to clean up some of the basics. The next big issues is the the
attachments "look" bad in the digests and the archive, I should deal with
that first, once they are clean I take a shot are a searchable system. Need
a like time
