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:

total 11216

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