kernel archives format
Hi,
A recent message that asked for the use-once patch and the answer ('look for in on the archives') reminded me a comment I wanted to do.
Nowadays looking for a patch in almost all kernel archives is useless. You get pages formatted in HTML, and even page source can give you any info. Just a bunch of and >, and without blanks nor any rest of the original formatting of the patch.
The only archive I have found to get the correct info is the one pointed in the vger 'list of lists':
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel
Any other 'useful' pointer ?

Yes, marc's "download raw" is a godsend. Unfortunately, marc's search isn't very good, so I sometimes find myself searching one of the hypermail archives just to find the date/time/author then getting the raw download from marc.
It would be nice to see an official corporate sponsor step up to the plate to provide funding for a really definitive archive site. Two features I'd like to see:
- Google-quality archive search engine
- Download multiple messages in mbox format for offline reading

Alternatively, you can use Google itself. Can somebody who's used the free SiteSearch let us know how often your site gets indexed?
