You misunderstand me - I think email is the right approach. Passwords
_will not_ work for the average user, especially considering the trouble
they have with subscribe/unsubscribe. I want to be able to send mail to
private-list-request to do a search. I want to be able to get this:

Length above was the message length. Basically the indexer will need
either the message text or enough information to get the message text.
I've made the presumption that the indexer keeps count of message number
so it doesn't need to be passed, which is fragile. List name and message
number will do fine, as long as there's an interface like
archive-get-immediate which allows the indexer front-end to grab the
message.
