The current plan is to investigate both a web based archive access
mechanism and an IMAP based one.
I split the requirements for them into two drafts so the projects could
be pursued separately.

Along those lines how about setting up an IETF IMAP server with
mailboxes for each mailing list hosted by the IETF?
There has been a discussion under way for some time to get that to
happen. I believe RFP's are being thought about (or written).
Right, so isn't this,
<http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-sparks-genarea-mailarch-05>,
entirely satisfiable via IMAP? At the very least I think that draft
needs another requirement:
* Users must be easily able to reply to archived messages using their
email client of choice. In particular, replies need to preserve
threading information in the form of References and In-Reply-To email
headers.
Ack.
