Mark has *just* enabled this feature of Majordomo, as follows:

"I just spent a few minutes mucking about with the various lists, and turned
on a majordomo capability previously disabled.  One should now be able to
use majordomo to fetch the archives of this mailing list.  To do so, send
mail to majordomo@autox.team.net, with the following line as the body of the
message:

   index autox

You should get back a listing of the archive directory, holding the monthly
accumulations of mail sent to this list.  The ax-digest is not archived, since
it is the same stuff as autox, just repackaged.  Once you have the filenames
which are available, one can do

   get autox <file_name_desired>
   get autox <next_file_name_desired>
   get autox <file_name_not_desired_but_listed_anyway>

to get the files you want."

I just tried it out, substituting mgs for autox, and got back:

so, yes, it's there, and in monthly form.
