Hmm, apart from the other suggestions: I'm using NNTP to access the mailing list. It is listed on gmane.org. That way I can use my email client to search the message headers. Maybe that is an option for you, too.
yes, that's actually how i follow the list right now, thanks! :-) the issue i have with downloading emails or news postings before reading them is that i move betweem machines quite a lot and whatever is local, i have to re-download on each one; that's the reason why i asked for an online alternative in the first place. i reckon unless someone comes up with something like IMAP for NNTP, a desktop newsreader is probably the way to go - postbox (and thus thunderbird) search is fast and there's threaded display - and ignored square brackets 9which doesn't really matter as long as there's enough keywords in the subject to keep me from re-asking something that's been recently discussed).
