Yeah, I didn't realize that it was turned off until several months into the list. I have several years now nicely backed up. > Exporting that many mails from Outlook is a royal pain with cheese, so I figured > I'd mention that possibility, at least. :) (that cheese comes with a lot of wine too, and some groaning) Ehsan wrote a cool tool for me that lets you drag and drop all the emails and generate a separate txt file with the full email (headers and all) in a specified directory. So we'll be able to get them into the archive (eventually). The problem comes in around what format the archive is in... www.list.org (home of Mailman our new list mgr) shows the standard they have to be put in. I'm sure someone's already wrote some kind of tool that will suck raw email files into an archive that Mailman likes. That's a secondary issue for me at this point (although I welcome anyone who wants to tackle the project). I've got bigger infrastructure work going on... It looks like at least the email server transition worked smoothly. /dev/null
