The stuff from Yahoo is already being archived in a suitable format. I
should have done it with the old list years ago, but the thought never
crossed my mind.

That's not the problem. In order to automatically archive the list one
needs all the information contained in the hidden headers of an email.
Outlook does something funky such that it is hard to get the header
information.
We could of course slap them up there as text files (from the outlook
files Andrew has), one per day or week or something, then at least it
would be searchable, but it would not be nearly as nice, nor as easy to
read. And of course someone would have to take the time to do it!
