This place shows some recent posts in select echos (FTSC_PUBLIC, HAM,  
WIN95, LINUX, and a few others) ..but many have stopped archiving many  
years prior:

http://www.fidonet.itu.se/echomail/

Useful for browsing for a few messages from the past.  But the coverage is  
inconsistent. Many other echos are listed but inaccessible.

No Search feature.  :(

The following link is a nice summary of FirstMessage Dated and LastMessage  
Dated per echo to save wasting time with hit-n-miss clicks:

Nevertheless, it's an interesting "way back machine" + "some recent posts"  
effort by: Michael Cronsten, Fidonet:  2:205/412

The display is sparse, but makes efficient use of screen space, no fancy  
html filler for beauty, and a small font.
