Given two years, we could also create our own mailing list manager and archive-to-web interface. But, why reinvent the wheel?

Creating the user's web interface would likely be a snap. I think the more difficult task would be implementing a web-browseable 
archive. The MLMMJ documentation for the archive [http://mlmmj.org/docs/readme-archives/] gives two options: mlmmj-webarchiver 
and Hypermail [http://www.hypermail-project.org/].

I don't care for the interface provided by mlmmj-webarchiver. It appears to be browseable only by date.

Hypermail seems to provide for a much more interactive experience. However, it can only read messages in the UNIX mailbox format.

I don't see the MLMMJ documentation specifying what format the archive uses, and the link to the scripts (which use hypermail to 
create web-browseable archives) and details [http://mlmmj.org/archive/mlmmj/2010-08/1710.html] is 404. So, I don't know how 
difficult it would be to interface the archive to Hypermail.
