So what is your reason for making the archives public - if it's not to help attract subscribers?

Regular mailman archives are difficult/impossible to search and nor do they present threads clearly. Nabble on the other hand can act like a mailing list archive and is  much more user friendly.

Indeed, making the archives public will help attract subscribers, though I would want them to subscribe via mailman, not nabble (as I plan to use nabble as a read only archive).

The current message on nabble - "Messages posted here will be sent to this mailing list" would be confusing in this respect, as it implies readers can post to the mailing list via nabble. Though if you only wanted nabble to act as a read only archive, there should be an option to edit this line out?

thanks
