All posts to cypherpunks since June '94 are available by ftp from
ftp.hks.net:/cypherpunks/nntp/cypherpunks.   They are also available
via nntp from nntp.hks.net:hks.lists.cypherpunks.

I'd be glad to put a search engine of some sort on them, either by
Web or by mailserver, if someone can suggest a reasonable way to index
the whole lot.

You may want to take a look at glimpse and harvest.  Here are some useful URLs 
for them:

http://glimpse.cs.arizona.edu:1994/

http://harvest.cs.colorado.edu/

   You may want to take a look at glimpse and harvest.  Here are some useful URLs 
   for them:

   http://glimpse.cs.arizona.edu:1994/

   http://harvest.cs.colorado.edu/

Both very good systems.  Harvest is probably overkill.  Glimpse is nice,
but I don't know if it handles mail archives (unless they are
one-file-per-message).

There used to be a WAIS index of cypherpunks on mariposa, but it doesn't
seem to work now.

WAIS indexing mail archives is pretty easy.

We sure need some indexing and searching to use the archive.
    A directory command at ftp.hks.net:/cypherpunks/nntp/cypherpunks 
    get you 8200+ lines of:

    Why its virtually encrypted!  How fitting.
