[digiKam-users] why do I rejoin Digikam MailMan list?

[frederic chaume]

mailing list is fine for me, only missing from my point of view is an 
efficient searching tool to retreive useful information , to get 
knowledge from already answered questions. There is a link to access all 
the mails, classified by month , but unusable for any search 
capabilities (as far as I know)
  regards
