I'm posting via gmane (awesome) but want to search the archives. I recall <http://www.fedoraforum.org/> and, IIRC, <http://fcp.homelinux.org/> as well. Of course, it now occurs to me to head on over to <http://www.gmane.org/> directly! :)

I was going to ask a question, but think I'll google (?) gmane first :)


I use procmail to siphon of my mailing lists into their own seperate mailboxes. Then I use Thunderbird to connect to dovecot IMAP on my system. Then I subscribe to those mailboxes (they show on a list of subscribable folders). Then I tell thunderbird to sort by date and view by thread on those folders.

It works like a champ. Thunderbird has very strong search capabilities. It allows searching headers and message bodies separately. Very nice.

Currently I have this mailing list intact since '5 Jul 2006 '.  It is:
...  31M Aug 22 15:21 fedora
about 31 MB. Thunderbird shows no performance penalty dealing with this and other large mailboxes.
