Based on your previous post, you seem to be a digest subscriber. The daily 
digest always contains a bunch of junk, I suspect it's mainly because most 
users aren't familiar with old fashioned bulletin board protocol. It's also 
because the digest strips out all formatting. 

Anyway, all the functions you seek are available from the web interface for 
this list and I recommend you sent your subscription to "no mail" and you 
read postings on the web site. They're posted in real time and the search 
function is pretty good.
