All this reminds me of why storing all your mail in a client specific format on your desktop is a bad idea. Get an old machine, install postfix, fetchmail or getmail, procmail and an imap server like dovecote. You can then use any client you like and your mail will always be available on the server. And PLEASE don't set your reply-to when posting to the list!
