Personally, I like the list archives at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=cobalt-users which already have the features
you describe.  The AIMS Group has several hundred mailing lists archived at
their site - very useful.  I wish these archives obfuscated email addresses
to slow down email address harvesters and I encourage you to do so if you
make your archives public.  Feel free to use/edit my PHP email address
obfuscater at
