If you don't have anything against Perl, there's a very easy to install and configure
Majordomo admin tool called MajorHelp which can be found at
http://www.vpdev.com/scripts/majorhelp/.  You can see it in action on Jeff Lasman's
unofficial Qube mailing list.  The source is very short and easy to modify and there
is a sample admin web page you can borrow code from to get you started in less than
10 minutes time.

And to respond to an earlier poster, until about half a year ago Cobalt was using the
"Cobalt mailing list" (actually Majordomo) in conjunction with MHonArc to convert the
archives to webpages.  This combo works just fine for me.  You can also add the
Glimpse search engine and the Wilma management tool to allow for web-based searching
of the webpage archives created.  Cobalt's now using MailMain.  It's written in
Python so I haven't tried to install and configure it, though I was subscribed to the
MailMan mailing list for a while and it has some functionality Majordomo 1x does not,
but also has problems too.
