It looks fine and seems to work as expected. You might be missing some
valid messages that got ignored by the mailing list archive bot. I'll
look a little deeper over the next few days and see if that's the
case.

The archive's web pages are created by MHonArc
(http://www.mhonarc.org/). The server's base configuration has changed
since the archive code was most recently tweaked, so that it no longer
works exactly as designed. The search feature used to be based on
Glimpse, but it has been broken for a very long time.

About a year ago I tried creating a working replacement on a temporary
host. I failed, mostly due to lack of experience and lack of time to
acquire such experience. Another volunteer was supposed to be trying
to do it last fall. I don't know how far he got before he went silent
about the task.
It would be absolutely splendid to find someone with the interest,
time, and ability to create and manage a modern email list server,
ideally having complete integration with a web forum. Are any
candidates listening?
