The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Miles Fidelman <address@concealed>]

For anyone who might be interested:

After a bit of digging, I discovered two useful things:

1. The mhonarc distribution includes a tool for converting 
HTML-formatted messages back into mailbox format.

2.  mhonarc (or perhaps the Sympa archiver) leaves a text copy of each 
message in a directory, with file names in an easy to sort sequence:
e.g.,
/home/sympa/arc/<listname>/2005-08/arctxt
containing files named: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

I guess a simple cat command is all I need!

Cheers,

Miles
