customizing an archive (future feature)

Jeff is right, we're hoping customization won't to be too much of a
burden. A couple factors may help.

Style sheets can cascade from different servers.  For example, let's
say company A stores list archives with The Mail Archive and wants a
custom logo on message pages. A could write their own cacading style
sheet and host it on an A's server. The only configuration role for
The Mail Archive is to make sure that the A's style sheet is part of
the cascade.

Also, it may be possible to enable some configuration control using
incoming messages themselves. For example, the list admin could put in
special RFC822 headers on messages that activate a configuration change.
Or add special subscribers to the list.

Anyway, we're still deciding on the exact mechanisms and analyzing
pontial abuse vectors. Hopefully we will come up with something
reasonable. As always, suggestions appreciated.

Cheers,
Jeff
