I just spent several days doing exactly this. I was going to write up a very quick procedure, because your right about there being no good reference. The faq's quoted in this thread are good starting points but not complete. You will need to do some fine tuning of the resulting .mbox file. In particular, listserv manages dates in its archives independently. Over five years of LISTSERV archives I had mail from 1967 to 2098, thanks to bad clocks on email senders. I'll see if I can put something together. You will need access to the LISTSERV .LOG files for the list, not the HTML archives. Do you have those? You can get them with a LISTSERV command if the list is still active. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
