Thanks! That's useful. > > Also if you want to download a whole message thread containing a > specific message-id you can fetch > https://inbox.sourceware.org/libc-alpha/<Message-ID>/t.mbox.gz Is it possible to download the entire history? I once cloned a git repository for a public-inbox, thinking that it would look like a maildir or an mbox, but it looks like every mail removes the previous one (or something weird). I see IMAP subfolder(s) are available under: imap://;AUTH=anonym...@inbox.sourceware.org/inbox.sourceware.libc-alpha # each subfolder (starting with `0') holds 50K messages at most which might be easier to use than the git repo.
