I've taken a look at public-inbox a few times, but at least for me it
never 'clicked'.  Furthermore, I was looking more at something that
would generate a set of static files to serve with httpd rather than a
full-blown web application.

I tried to use bubger -- which has an amazing design IMHO -- but it
didn't like some of the emails i have in my local got maildir.  I've
emailed the authors to let them know, but while waiting for a reply I
thought I could hack something around mblaze and it worked, so here we
are :)

To be fair I'm not expecting this to attract many patches!  (or any
patch at all.)  There are a few TODO items left, like having URLs
turned into links or somehow linking commits which would be cool, but
otherwise I think it's done.  (famous last words?)

(if you're bored, got' TODO has more interesting entries ;-)

I agree that lacking a search facility is a big drawback.  We can get
that form some web companies at least, and the web archive doesn't
rule out a possible future inclusion in marc.info.
