Suggestion: a Google search on gmane and/or nabble linked from the archive pages.
B> Yes, those sites fail to respect robots.txt Huh, people subscribed the lists to gmane. Gmane does not spider sites. Brion even told the Gmane admins it was OK to not encrypt addresses upon my request... (but you'll have to look that thread up yourself :-), if you can, Muhahaha)

Or just use a different Mail User Agent. I mean if the user has such special needs, they can at least learn to use a different Mail User Agent, instead of playing like President Kim, and outlawing searching for everybody.

All I know is I don't know of any other examples of "security through obscurity" on mailing lists. Wasn't Jimbo inventing a new search engine? I don't know though... can't search for the announcement.
