I routinely fetch the old archives from a mailman list when I join and
load them into the folder that will collect future messages.

I have some useful scripts to undo the munging mailman does to the
archives which produces a sane mbox result. This I then open with mutt
and move the messages into the target folder.

I believe the difficulty is inversely proportional to the crotch-to-shoulder
measurement, and proportional to the coefficient of friction of the inside
surface.  Mine got smelly so I cleaned it, now it's hard to put on!
