www.mail-archive.com If you're doing development on an open source project, I recommend that you get your mailing list archived by mail-archive.com. It's pretty easy to setup and offers a nice google-like search interface. I recently added struts-apps, struts-menu-user and the display tag lists. I hope this makes it a lot easier for folks using these applications. I might even add Roller, but I figured Dave could handle that if he really wants it (it's already being done by gname anyway).

Either way, gname or mail-archive.com, if you're using a SourceForge mailing list, you'd better get a better archiving system b/c SourceForge's sucks! Why? No searching! What good is an archive without searching?!

Matt, I don't want to leave you out on a limb here, but you can actually search the mailinglist using sourceforge's site. I thought for the longest time you couldn't because the search box has to be the most unintutive UI I have ever seen. If you click on the list archive and then look in the upper left you will see that the drop down below the search box changes to "Search this mailinglist" which allows you to search the mailinglist which you are currently viewing. It is the dumbest way to do a search, but it is possible.

Interesting - I've never seen that damn search box before. Good to know!
