This is not a key on a text field.
The keys are:
mail_list (example, the PHP mailing list=1)
mail_year (1999)
mail_month (July=7)
Yes it is a multi-key index, and the matches are exact.
Someone else asked why I have separated these fields out from the
mail_date.
If I didn't, and I wanted to see the messages for this month, I'd have
to regex and that would overwhelm the database.
