I know you said "if" but you *can* download all of the mbox-formatted email for a given period using mailman archiver. It's a standard feature that has been discussed, I think, in this thread. It may not be as convenient as the download raw text hack that was added to the old archiver but it is usable - especially if you're a software developer. cgf
