We at Northeast Parallel Architecture Center (NPAC), Syracue
University has developed an archive system for searching/reading
USENET newsgroups, mailing lists and personal mailbox from WWW. An
Oracle database server is used to store/manage mails and two
search/navigation interfaces accessible by any WWW browser to the
archive are provided: one is an advanced search interface allowing
queries with various options such as query by mail header, by date, by
subject (keywords), by sender. The other is a Hypermail-like
navigation interface for users familiar with Hypermail. 

We offer free access to this archive for the Internet
Internet community. Check the URL
