... then you should also demand that the official archives of your favorite lists preserve them and their verifiability in the supposedly canonical reference "mbox" format that they distribute.

Do not try to say this case is trivial, the problem itself is not trivial, it's gratuitous, and it applies to all matching messages... text, code, binary inline... that's dangerous. Do not try to say this corruption prevents spam, it does not. Spammers simply subscribe to the list and harvest everything efficiently in realtime... no webcrawling overhead, no stale addresses. Obfuscation is futile. This misfeature needs to be disabled.

Yes... these other mirrors, archives, analysis, journalism, and interfaces are useful. However, as it is now, there are no useful authoritative sources for them to seed from... they're all corrupt. And any subscribed realtime sources, though nice, are subject to downtime, administrative and other unrecoverable gaps. Your mirror project is a fine idea, you should demand that the pristine historical sources be made publicly available. Not just for you, but for everyone. On Wed, Jun 17, 2015, grarpamp wrote: > ...

Instead they stupidly throw them away to "web links" which results not only in uselessness of the so called "mbox" version, but in many thousands of needless fetches by archive users and indexers. And hours of wasted work attempting to postprocess them into usable form. Valuable content lost from the "mbox" files this June alone: 418 attachment.html 106 attachment.sig 6 attachment.jpe 4 attachment.png 2 attachment.bin d) There appear to be at least 15 instances of unescaped '^From ' in the "mbox". Regeneration with current mailman may fix.
