        You may be able to grab the "cooked" text format archives, modify 
them to look more like proper 7th edtion "mbox" format raw source 
archives, and then import them into your new mailing at your new 
provider.  Or, your new provider may be able to do that for you.

        But otherwise, there's not much you can do without being able to 
get access to the source archive mbox files.
