The messages I was talking about certainly seem to be.

Here is one of them:

http://lists.calorierestriction.org/pipermail/cr_lists.calorierestriction.org/2007-September/006731.html

At any rate, those messages are *presented* on individual web
pages - and there is an index that links to them all - and
so the lot can be indexed by a web spider - as the current
Google-based search tool on my site illustrates.

I will stop contemplating this problem forthwith.
