The IETF does not use Mailman archive functionality.
Hmm.  First, I'm not sure how relevant that is to what I wrote.  I
followed the link on the list info page, which leads to a page
that says there are no archives.

Ah, I misunderstood your note. That link is a default link setup my Mailman, which points to default Mailman archives.

The issue is that the wgchairs mailing list does not have anything set in its "description" on the General options page, which would then eliminate the default on the listinfo page.

I'll put in a suggestion to get that updated.

Sounds like an idea.

Secondly, I know of lists which most definitely have Mailman
archives, so this seems to be not quite as absolute as you
indicate ...

Really?  Can you give me an example?

While it is possible to turn on Mailman archives it is not possible to access them. The URLs are all rewritten to something else. Thus, enabling Mailman archives is just using up disk space.

There are several, and they are accessible, and I'm perfetly happy
to have them accessible as there are some characteristics of the
MHonArc archive interface which bugs the hell out of me.
