Dear Rakotomandimby,

I just wanted to confirm the mailing list where tomcat developers discuss 
Tomcat architecture, new features, roadmap of new releases etc. so that i make 
sure that i have requested the right archives for our research evaluation.

Regarding the mailing archives format: Tomcat mailing lists are hosted in 
different format so why not go for an available format and parser instead of 
finding a new parser or writing a new one.

regards
Aftab Iqbal

According to me
- discussion a commit: not very common. usually done with another commit.
- discussion a bug is generally done on the bugtracker.

First of all, extension does not indicate reliably the format of a file.
Parsing mbox file is easyly done in common programming language.

Whatever format you face, you will always find a parser.
