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.
