The issue with the invisible archive page is mal-formed html on the pages. A
comment tag is started but not closed, effectively making the whole page a
non viewable comment. IE ignores this miscoding while other browsers are
more strict.

This could be easily fixed in whichever file writes the header of these
pages. Here's the bad code:

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <!--- img src="/img/eurovan.gif" width=179
height=130 alt="EuroVan" align=left> <!---img src="/img/vanagon_popped.gif"
width=182 height=130 alt="Vanagon" align=right>
 It just needs a  -->  to close the comment and every browser could search
the archives.

Personally, I have the entire archive in GMail so I didn't notice the
problem before it was mentioned here.
