I'd also tend towards making longer indexes. I've largely settled

If this is referring to the number of messages per page, I disagree.
Yep, its the number of messages per page on the index pages.
The current number of messages per page is plenty for someone with a
28.8 connections.
<shrug> I'll note that I'm offering my MHonArc archives via a 28.8K
dedicated dialup connection. Browsing them here from work is quite
usable.
