One more point. The moderator of this defunct list moved the group from its old place on bikelist.org to Google Groups. It's been there already for several years. I would propose just stuffing the archives into the new group except said moderator made the archives of the new group open only to subscribers. Now that it's been running that way for several years, it's a bit late to open things up. > Maybe I could suggest, in addition to uploading the archive as raw messages > for GGroups to present, uploading the archive as a compressed mbox file for > members to download if they wish a local archive copy. I think the existing archives are in MH format. Shouldn't be too difficult to generate the usual Mailman-style mbox-file-per-month or perhaps one per year.
