Not knowing what version of majordomo software this list is on I
can't say what features it has, but a subject index does appear
to be a standard feature of most majordomo digesting systems
these days. All the other majordomo-administered digests I
subscribe to use this feature.
For example, here's the top of the latest Infrared Digest from
majordomo@xxxxx:
