[Bioclusters] The Bioclusters Archives (search)

[J.W. Bizzaro]

Thanks for the tip, Dan.  We were using a phrase in the email signature to 
narrow the search down, but it appears that the sig has changed in the more 
recent version of Mailman.  Plus, many messages don't contain one at all.  We 
just now changed it to use the email address of the list instead.  It seems to 
work better.

Cheers,
Jeff
