Mail archive not very user-friendly

wxPython Users

I've needed to use the mail archive at
http://www.wxpython.org/maillist.php. The link to the archive for wxPython
users goes to the MHOnArc page which is pretty useless. All you get is
the first page of mails from 1999 and a "next page" button. You can do a
binary search to find the current last page
(http://lists.wxwindows.org/archive/wxPython-users/thrd80.html at
present) but there's no search.

If you go to http://lists.wxwindows.org/ there's an alternative link to
the archive maintained by ezmlm which gives
http://lists.wxwindows.org/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi/11 - much more useable.

Could you make the Archive links from http://www.wxpython.org/maillist.php
point to the ezmlm archives?

Also, it would be nice to have on big file of all messages for downloading
like in c.l.p list.

My 2 cents.

And my five bucks. Hosting of the mail lists at SunSite.dk has has been frustrating at best...
