Hi,

There are two strong workarounds that come to mind here. I wouldn't mind 
starting a thread either... Reactions welcomed.

#1. A searchable archive is nice, but aggressive FAQ authoring and of 
course, making that FAQ document available, can squash most of the need 
for a searchable archive. I'd suggest an auto-reply FAQ as a great way to 
start. Mention that document in your welcome messages and let people know 
whenever it gets updated. Putting one FAQ onto a www site (one per list) 
is a snap too. It is much better than making the whole blasted list 
web-residing.

#2. Then there are other services, for free, that can help with the 
searchable archives too: Findmail.com
Reference.com
Listz.com
