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...

Sorry if I never mentioned that, James.  It seemed too obvious to 
even mention to a geek like you.

Long ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I archived everything that I 
could from the Yahoo! mailing list that we used before Evan Harris 
offered to host us on puremagic.com.

I sure would like to locate that file because it took hours to 
forward each and every email from the archive to one of my 
accounts.  I do not recall how far back that archive went back but it 
was active before I joined the group in August 2001.

All the best....

Mike

Oh, the agony of those wasted hours of my youth!  [Not to mention 
those wasted hours of my middle-age manually archiving TRG's Yahoo! 
archive.]
