[Robotgroup] Interesting use for mailinglist archive.

[Evan Harris]

Interesting that you mention that Mike, I actually did the same thing, but 
used a screen scraper script to remove the manual aspect of it.  I hate 
non-portable formats, and yahoo definitely made it a pain to get the 
messages out.

I meant write something to convert it to standard mbox format and stick it 
in the archives, but never got around to it.  But I have it going back to 
Edwin's first post on Jun 24 2001.

Maybe I'll get around to it one of these days...
