Right. When we were messing around with SFX's sys admin model, I found archives for both friam and sfx and found that with a fairly small effort (l1/2 hr say) could convert them between various formats. This was needed for an experiment to save the early friam material and to get sfx onto Nabble.
So yes, given vast amounts of mails, it isn't too difficult to convert them into other formats. -- Owen On Mon, Jan 21, 2013 at 3:32 PM, Russell Standish <[email protected]>wrote: > On Mon, Jan 21, 2013 at 12:01:21PM -0700, Nicholas Thompson wrote: > > Thanks, Owen. > > > > > > > > I fooled around with the problem a bit more yesterday and immediately > > encountered a problem I hadn't expected.
