The site: trick [1] has worked for me quite well for long time: "T400 site:http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-general/"; Jeremiah's pointed on two front-ends to the same data, best option I know too. It is not ideal in though, so it is not a problem to setup ML mirror on Gmane. Similarly, Nabble works fairly well as a Forum frontend to ML. [2] I'm a member of OSGeo Foundation where mailing lists [3] only are provided. For those who prefer forum frontent, we have the whole hierarchy mirrored at Nabble. It's worked really well so far.
