Hi Mark,
 
Not sure what you are suggesting other than wait until my full archive
is available…

Now that it is available, it doesn't matter much and merely serves to complicate matters to retrospectively explain. I'm sorry if I caused confusion. 

In any case, I finally got enough bandwidth [to upload my IMAP archives
as Thunderbird had them on my local disk][1].

Great!

Slice 'n dice at will; or tell me the format that you need to process.
I assume [mbox][2] would be the natural choice, probably stripping out
the delivery headers.

Yea, I'll need mbox, but I can do that myself, I think. I'll need all messages received between Message-ID <CAAmBhX8M4BDaggvJNT5b4SMGL33ARJQ8xwStF4LdbZ5EdHxHCg@mail.gmail.com> and Message-ID <m1pp7oqkdb.fsf@lrde.epita.fr>, exclusive.

I see what you uploaded is an mbox, so, I'll use that (and some python code) to do some more mbox stitching :-)
