Hypermail and MHonArc are the go-to tools for turning mailboxes into
HTML monsters. There's Eyebrowse but that's all about throwing Java and
databases at mail files and is rather more intensive on the server side
than the mostly static output from Hypermail and MHonArc.
Making mailing list archives look like blog comments is a terrible way
to present mailing list archives. If you're using a search engine or
index then you're probably looking for a specific message and maybe the
few around it for context. The blog approach presents everything as one
big, continuous mass of messages which is not conducive to finding
something specific.
