     I assumed Will had something specific in mind, but I am not
sufficiently familiar with mailing list archiving software to know if there
is a good solution.
    Even a simple search box for the three lists would be handy.  I think a
version of the archive with better thread tracking would be ideal (the rrrs
archive seemed easily confused, whereas threads in the two r6rs lists get
interrupted monthly).  It's not worth moving mountains to achieve, but if
it's easy then it's probably worth it.
