Google to the rescue! It is possible to restrict google to searching within a particular site, which can be very handy for list archives. You just need to enter 'site:www.url.org' as one of your query terms, so to search the EMBOSS archives for 'clustal' and 'outorder', google for the terms

'site:http://emboss.open-bio.org/pipermail/emboss/ clustal outorder'

which returns one hit: http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=+site%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Femboss.open-bio.org%2Fpipermail%2Femboss%2F+clustal+outorder&btnG=Search&meta=
which unfortunately does not seem to answer your question...

Oh well...It's not a perfect solution, but very useful for (mainly pipermail) list archives which don't have a search capabililty.
