Most mailing list software has a web interface for the archives of the list,
and some provide a searchable interface. Hmm, we have an archive at
http://list.linux-vserver.org/archive/vserver/
and
http://archives.linux-vserver.org/
I don't see a "search" option there, but I guess we could always make
google index the pages and then have a google search option :-)
