The problem is that the link in the above to "searchable mailing list 
archive" is to http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Archives/boost/ which 
is just a list of year/month archives. No "search" option visible on that 
page. So there is a real issue here, and it leads people to think that 
there is no search option available.

Which page on the activestate.com should the link point to? Perhaps 
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Browse/Threaded/boost? That would 
seem to solve the search and most recent posting needs, but doesn't seem to 
link to http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Archives/boost/.

I keep having the sense that there is (or should be) some third "index to 
the Boost archive" page on the ActiveState site that I am somehow missing, 
and that is what we really should be linking to.
