Is it possible to get mailing list archive messages in mbox format?
My primary reason is being able to select archived messages online and
reply to them with the correct Reference, Mail-followup-to and other
headers being automatically set correctly in my e-mail client. I know that
I'd probably have to download the entire month, but that still might be
better than being subscribed...
I remember reading about debian-private being available on some developer
only server in mbox format. That information being accurate, then the
other lists may exist there too, but only accessible to developers.
Recently a feature was added to the Debian BTS that allows users to get
bugs in mbox format. I don't know if this is useful related information.
It'd be really nice if I only had to click a link and have everything get
set (if possible). That would be a wishlist bug against the mail archiving
software and it may not be possible to setup properly. This option would
not work for those who don't have their e-mail client of choice linked to
their web browser of choice.
Having an e-mail list gateway with an online e-mail client (like mailto)
might work too, but then there are security issues like faked
mail-followup-to values.
Having an mbox formatted file for each message in the mailing list archive
would be my preference. This again is probably a wishlist bug against the
mail archiving software. If a bug needs to be filed on this, it would
probably be useful for package developer(s) to be informed on who worked
on the BTS mbox features.
If I hear of no better solution and there is no appropriately filed bug,
Then I will file a bug.
