I routinely download mailman archives when I join such a mailing list so I can search them locally in the future (mairix etc). They do indeed need munging before use. I wrote this script: http://www.cskk.ezoshosting.com/cs/css/bin/get-mailman-archive which fetches all the archives, concatenates them and then filters the almost-mbox result through these two scripts: http://www.cskk.ezoshosting.com/cs/css/bin/fix-mail-dates http://www.cskk.ezoshosting.com/cs/css/bin/un-at- and the result is a clean mbox file. I then move them into maildirs with mutt's copy-message facility. However, the above scripts will let you convert mailman archives into useable mbox files. | My real interest was testing automated mbox-maildir automatic | conversion via mutt on some sample email that I needed to analyze | anyway, this issue was really unexpected.
