I would imagine the reason is more like "not enough demand" or "nobody has ever bothered". Making mboxes available wouldn't make things any easier for address harvesters. (In practice I don't spend much time reading old threads, and it's more convenient to read a couple messages by Googling for a Message-ID than to download big mboxes. I wouldn't use them very much.) -- Glenn Maynard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
