Each html page could be titled with the subject of the mail message. So then perl would just have to search the directory with the subjects of the e-mail you're grepping The other way do do this is to create a small database but that might be more complex. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Igor Gueths" To: Sent: Thursday, April 29, 2004 8:06 AM Subject: search engine for the archives? > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Hi all.
