I would like to capture all of the historical mailing list traffic locally for further processing (formatting and searching). At http://lists.xwiki.org/pipermail/users/ I am able to download each month's traffic in a "Gzip'd Text" format. Can anyone tell me how to convert these files to something useful? I researched this subject on Google and, while there is a fair amount of information and even some scripts for converting this Pipermail gzipped format to mbox format, it doesn't match up with what I actually find in the download files from this list, whether in the original gz format or after uncompressing. For example, the scripts expect to find "From:" literals in clear text, and that is not the case in these files.
Hi Gary, I think that's a question for the pipermail users list. Note that you can use http://xwiki.markmail.org/ or http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/ to browse the archives, and they have good UI and good search capabilities, especially markmail. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/
