If you want to see something that I like (so far), have a look at: http://www.cineca.it/proxy/search/ It uses something called "swish" to do the searching from what I can see in the html source, and hypermail to manage it. This may be fine for www access, but I don't know if it's useful at all in text mode. > jmb -Peter
