Ooh, wow.  That's quite nice.

Unfortunately, the implementation is a combination of perl and sql, both of 
which are on my "don't go there" list.

However, the coolness of the second link is actually making me want to 
implement something like this myself.  Morris has the mailing list archives 
as mbox files, which is all you'd really _need_...
