My thoughts as well as we are starting to see suggestions for solving
non-existant problems :-)

1) We need each message file minimised - e.g. some php variables
defined, a php include for the header, the message and thread links and
a php include for the footer.

2) The php header file should use the variables defined in the messages
to generate the <TITLE></TITLE> tag and last modified dates, as well as
any other useful meta data.

3) The php header and footer files should include
<!--noindex--><!--/noindex--> tags to allow aspseek to cache the entire
page but only index the relevant content (see anywhere on the main
portal site to see how this is done - specifically, menus are not
indexed though they are still followed).

4) (Optionally, I don't think it's necessary - certainly not for
ASPSeek) The php header/footer may only display if certain user agent
strings are not detected.

Regards, Dave.
