Well, it's neither pretty, nor quick, nor resource-friendly, but a
temporary solution would be for you to download the full raw archive
(http://mail.python.org/pipermail/jpython-interest.mbox/jpython-interest.mbox)
and import that file into your favorite email program.
Netscape for linux allows me to treat this file as a folder, and I can
use its search tool to locate specifc messages within the archive.
Having such functionality built into a webpage interface would of
course be highly preferable though.
