Well point me at the box (I suggest an older Linux that still has DECNET

Actually, the more I think about it, I think you should do the VAX Notes
interface.   Just write a program for VMS, using any language you like, give
it a mailbox and subscribe it to the list.   It'll automatically receive a
copy of all HECnet postings, and it can parse out the subject, author,
date/time, and whatever else you need, and then jam a copy into the Notes
database.     It doesn't really have to integrate with the mailing list
software at all, and has the advantage that it'll work no matter where or
how this list is hosted.

I volunteered to write a small management interface to a Unix program - this is beyond my skillset at the moment :)

Any takers?
