Hi Bill,

Does this just rewrite comments such as

    <!-- received="Sun Sep 09 16:51:47 2001" -->

as a <meta> tags?

Swish-e can do something similar. Try a search at:

    http://search.apache.org/archives/mod_perl-dev/

Swish can parse, search and return meta tags in search results, but in this case it's parsing the data from the comments in the hypermail files.
