Description

ForrestBar uses an out of date search string for mail-archive.org.

Currently something like :-

('http://www.mail-archive.com/cgi-bin/htsearch?method=and&format=short&config=user_forrest_apache_org&restrict=&exclude=&words=' + searchItem.value);

is used, but I get 404 errors for all archives.

Needs to be something like (not tested) :-

('http://www.mail-archive.com/search?l=[e-mail]&q=' + searchItem.value);

would be the equivalent.

More queries could be added as options . More at http://www.mail-archive.com/faq.html#search
