There's nothing builtin to mailman (v 2.x which we're using). You've got 
a few options:

* Use Google (or whatever engine) with site:, eg:

https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=site:mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/+windows

* Use some other service like markmail:

http://markmail.org/search/?q=list%3Aorg.python.python-list+windows

* (As a last resort): 
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/comp.lang.python

But, seriously, please don't post back through Google Groups: it messes 
up the formatting considerably and will generally annoy people.
