Guys,

I just realised that I've pretty much NEVER deleted any message from this list, and my Mail client says I have about 12,000 of them since dated back to March 2008.

You guys think it might be an idea to export these in some format and make them searchable? Can I say put 12,000 text files on CHIMPY and let people use the SEARCH command to look for specific keywords (i.e. will the performance be reasonable)?

Alternatively, I suppose I could build some quick web app for browsing/searching the mails (authenticated of course, don't want the whole world to see our list).

Any ideas?
