Hello,
I'm asking this here per advice from Cary Bass.
I would like to request an enhancement in the checkuser-l mailing list,
which would allow searching the topics and/or contents of archived mails for
specific terms. This is particularly useful on this mailing list, because
CUs frequently need to check the archives to review previous information
about IPs and socks.
I'm aware that our mailing lists are running on Mailman 2.1.9 (which is NOT
the latest version [1]). Having checked their website I'm sure such search
functionality IS NOT available in mailman, nor through a plug-in. They
advise using third-party search engines (like Google), but since checkuser-l
is not a public list, Google is not an option. They also suggest using some
patches [2] which are compatible with Pipermail, but whether they are
suitable in our case is beyond my understanding.
I'm sure I'm not the only one asking for this feature. I'd be grateful if
the request was taken into consideration.
Regards,
