The damn archive search on mail.gnome.org simply is broken (read: it
does not work at all). *sigh*  To search the mailing lists I recommend
using Google and adding this to any search:

Greg's suggestion was pretty fine, and I'm glad it already solved the

since it holds the data in memory. Other than that, Greg's post is

And I'm Cc'ing the list, since we are talking about issues everyone
subscribed should know. :)  Hope you don't mind.
