By index pages you mean http://egcs.cygnus.com/ml/gcc/ , right?

Hm, well, adding what you ask for might be useful. If it's easy, let's
give it a try (but it's probably not worth too much effort just to save
a single mouse-click).

I'd prefer not to clutter lists.html any further, but clearly, if
you have a good suggestion on how to improve that page, I'd be highly
interested. (Patches welcome! ;-) )

I believe these are not yet publicly available. Jason, how about adding
these to our CVS repository as wwwdocs/mhonarc?
