I just added some code to the mailing list search.

Now when you do a search, it will make a link out of
each Subject line. By clicking that link, you will get
the whole discussion thread for that subject,
displayed in chronological order. It searches all messages
in the same month, the previous month, and the next month,
for ones that have a matching Subject line (ignoring "Re:"
etc.). In some cases the Subject line might be longer
than the original, but it will still match. I found that's
useful in most cases.

It seems to be working ok now, but the code is new,
so let me know of any problems.

It's nice to be able to see the comments from several
people on a given topic.
