There have been a number of posts about how to get Digital
Librarian to index old mail files (mbox) and NewsGrazer files.
Several folks have contributed scripts to do these sorts of
things. Alas, it looks like these will all be broken in
NeXTStep 3.0 since NeXT has changed the model of indexing.
Since there is now an Indexing Kit available, it shouldn't be
too hard to write some programs that understand mboxes, etc.
Meanwhile people might want to consider using WAIS. It has a
very nice indexing engine that understands mboxes and NewGrazer
folders. You can use it pretty much out of the box. In
addtion, you can search other databases all over the Internet.
WAIS is available at your favorite archive.
