    I might have a few ideas.

    http://www.hypermail.org/

    This will read a pile of emails and split them into HTML files. Then you 
just dump the HTML files onto the web and wait for Google to crawl them. Then 
just do a Google search using the "site:" parameter.

    I can set that all up. The problem is disk space. I don't have six gigs of 
space on my website. Maybe we should get a website with 10gigs or so of disk 
space and then take donations to pay for it (say $150USD a year).

    Then for new mails, subscribe a dummy user to the list and have a cron job 
run hypermail every hour or so on that dummy user's mbox.

    The mailing list software Mailman uses a form of hypermail and it works 
very 
well with Google.
