This is good news. The system is sound and what we have is basically an
instrumentation error.

As far as fixing Lurker, why not use a different archive machine? Even
when Lurker works, I find using its representation of email history
almost inscrutable. Every other Mailman-run mailing list has a nice,
easy archive, although they usually aren't searchable. But then again,
neither is Lurker.

LOL, a part of me wants to make a new archive representer (assuming the
messages are stored in maildir), but I just don't have the time.
