Just a few seconds (under 5) on the systems I tried. On a recent Macbook, this is NeoMutt 20180512 via Mac Ports. On the PGLAF server, Mutt 1.5.21 (2010-09-15) under Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS Both systems have recent CPUs and > 4GB of memory, which probably helps. Theoretically I can parse the mbox file into the list archives at https://lists.cpunks.org so they are navigable like the rest of the post-2013 archive that's already there. I'll take a look at this... The cypherpunks archive is public, so it will then become indexable by Google and the other search engines. https://lists.cpunks.org/pipermail/cypherpunks/ - Greg
