Thanks for the
nudge, Nick. Some conversations started before the end of
the year had not run to conclusion.
The robots.txt file has been changed, and some things put in place
to
help the spiders find all the messages.

Robert,
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/robots.txt includes "Disallow: /",
which
means that the entire mailarch repository is unavailable on regular
search engines.
This was reported in ietfdb ticket 2658.
Are there plans to fix this before mhonarc is discontinued? It
would be
hugely regressive for ietf mailing lists to be cut off from regular
internet searches.
Nick
We will be
discontinuing Mhonarc during the day on Monday Jan 14.
As noted below, all existing Mhonarc URLs will redirect to the same
message in mailarch.
The mbox files available through rsync will continue to be
available.
