I imagine that this is a common problem for a number of people on HF.
Would it be a good idea for us (the list/archive administrators) to
investigate ways that the archives could be retrieved via email only,
instead of requiring a web browser to do it.  What I have in mind is
being able to retrieve the top level index listing, then the index for
a particular month, then an actual article that was posted to the
list.  An additional posibility is the option to perform a keyword
search.  What do you all think?

BTW a current back burner project is setting up the webglimpse search
engine for the HF archives as a web browsable feature, but we caould
also permit queries to be emailed to the search engine and responses
mailed back.
