Well I think the issue is the for unknown reason the mail list archives are
in db :(
each access requires the helper cgi
 http://gerry.vanagon.com/cgi-bin/wa.exe?A1=ind0606a&L=vanagon

if this where just html mail messages on disk  with a url to access the mail
message
content then google would do it in a blink of an eye :)
