FOLLOW THE LINK FROM THE PROCMAIL HOMEPAGE (WHICH IS WHAT DALLMAN POSTED IN
HIS MESSAGE):

IT IS *NOT* THE LINK FROM rwth-aachen.de WHICH YOU JUST POSTED:
This is the archive page, right? No form that says "Search" and no dropdown
menu that lets me select "Subject" as the "what" to search.

The _official_ archive (as linked from the PROCMAIL HOMEPAGE, which would
be a good starting point when looking for info on procmail), supports a
basic search expression syntax (not regexp, but it allows for some fuzzy
stuff). It also contains archives back to circa 1995 or so, not just 2000
(which is when the listserv host changed things around).
The expression:
Subject:;Received:
Will match for messages containing both Received: and Subject:. You will
have a slight problem in that Glimpse will no doubt be matching the
Subject: line of the message itself, not just the body.
If you want complex searching options, I advise you to simply download the
archives and manipulate them on your own system with whatever tools you
must obviously have there.
If you believe this list should instead have some search engine which
supports such terms as "under", "near", and "like", please feel free to
provide a link to a list which DOES have this capability, and consider
simply setting up a proper archive and your own search (though if you do,
please exercise due dilligence to protect email addresses from harvesting,
something which all too many archive maintainers don't bother to do).
