I signed up for this list awhile back, and I just route all the msgs
in Gmail to archived - I have everything that's been sent since I
signed up, it's a little over 1,000 msgs.  Given Gmail's huge amount
of storage, it's no problem to keep them all - a personal Wiki
database of sorts.   I can search in Gmail over all the recent
emailings.

This isn't a perfect solution, and it won't help you for things in the
past (or right now), but if you let it build up enough over time, you
just might have what you want in Gmail.
