Today I discovered/realized that the mailing list archive has a .gz
version of each month going back to 2003.

The neat thing is that these are stored in mbox format.
What this means is that I will be able to get a local copy of all the
list going back to 2003 by just dropping the decompressed file into my
Thunderbird "Local Folders" directory.
(That is I dropped it into the the actual folder on the HDD
/home/u/.mozilla-thunderbird/burrrr.default/Mail/Local Folders/)
I did a quick test w/ a couple months and it seems to work great.
Pretty neat. My archive only went back to 2007.
