Hi Mark, all,
No problem. The archives have been offline for so long a week or two
doesn't make all that much difference.
It would be nice to be able to announce on ELS that they're finally stitched and back though. Hope that's a timeline you can support when you look at it more closely on Thursday.
Been searching around for documentation regarding non-time-sequentially-ordered mailman archives. My reading of https://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2007-April/056687.html is that we can add the missing posts any time and simply need to regenerated the entire archive when we do.
That being the case, I think I should restore the mailing list archives and when we get to it, we can add the missing mails to the armedbear-devel list's archive. That would remove the pressure off of you to come up with the missing mails asap.
Would that work for you?
Not sure what you are suggesting other than wait until my full archive is available…
In any case, I finally got enough bandwidth [to upload my IMAP archives as Thunderbird had them on my local disk][1].
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.
