Clearsilver List Archive (CSLA) v0.2
CSLA is currently in Alpha and is open source under the BSD license. It has a bunch of nice features, including:
- no-frames, frames, and iframes display modes (in prefs)
- stores messages in RAW format (never butcher the content!)
- metadata in sqlite3 and optional text-index
- fast rendering, with intermediate data caching (index,
message parse, etc)
- configuration allows easy control of header and colors, and templates
allow more detailed control of the page.
- By-Month posting volume display
- Post-Count by Author and Author Search
- full-text search with word proximity and context snippits
- blog-style recent posts with RSS feeds
- Fuzzy Subject/Date Thread building (for mailers which are
broken and don't support In-reply-to)
- Handles really-long threads without breaking.
- Many different browse styles: 'View Thread',
'View Month' (click on Month Number),
'New Threads', etc..
- message rendering tries to make sensible decisions to make most
email messages readable in html.
- Full MIME message parsing with Attachment decoding, including
in-line image display.
- Timezone setting with display of local and raw date
- Minimalist thread information display which elimintates
repetitive subject lines.
- optional server-side read/unread tracking (no login required)
- quote-hiding to avoid quoted text cluttering the reading experience
