Archive v0.2

Archive is currently in Beta. You can see it in action archiving messages for mono-list.

Archive has a bunch of nice features, including:

no-frames, frames, and iframes display modes (in prefs)
stores messages in RAW format (never break the content!)
extremely fast rendering, with intermediate data caching (index, message parse, etc)
never stores html output so you can always change templates
By-Month posting volume display
Post-Count by Author and Author Search
Extremely fast full-text search with word proximity and context snippits
blog-style recent posts with RSS feeds
Fuzzy Subject/Date Thread building (for mailers which are broken and don't support In-reply-to)
Handles really-long threads without breaking.
Many different browse styles: 'View Thread', 'View Month' (click on Month Number), 'New Threads', etc..
DoWhatIMeanNotWhatISay message rendering to help make quasi broken posts readable. Tries to use non-proportional font when useful.
Full MIME message parsing with Attachment decoding, including in-line image display.
Timezone setting with display of local and raw date
Minimalist thread information display which elimintates repititve subject lines.
last-visit support (someday we'll add real read/unread status)

For the curious, Archive is written in Python using the ClearSilver Templating System, PyApache and Apache. Search is provided by Neotonic's Retrieve full text index software.

Development of Archive is made possible by the Neotonic Software Corporation.
