You may want to take a look at glimpse and harvest. Here are some useful URLs
for them:
http://glimpse.cs.arizona.edu:1994/
http://harvest.cs.colorado.edu/
Both very good systems. Harvest is probably overkill. Glimpse is nice,
but I don't know if it handles mail archives (unless they are
one-file-per-message).

There used to be a WAIS index of cypherpunks on mariposa, but it doesn't
seem to work now.
WAIS indexing mail archives is pretty easy.
