I have thought of it.  grepping 60 megabytes is no small task, and I 
wonder if the computer can handle it.  At the moment, WWW search engines 
are forbidden to enter it, but I can turn that off and add a search form 
thing that redirects to, say, Altavista, specifying that all hits for 
phrase <x> must be found on site www.truespectra.com.  I think it can do 
that.  The URLs for old messages are unlikely to change, so this could be 
a permanent solution.
