Hi,

I just noticed that i probably have to convert our old hypermail
archives for some lists to mbox format to be able to archive them with
the new system again.

There are several perl scripts out there to do that. Unfortunately none
of them works out of the box on our old hypermail layout. So i have to
hack them up to be able to convert the old archives. _But_ im knee-deep
in other things at the moment regarding the new list server. 

Now you come into play. This is the opportunity to help openSUSE project
to archive some important goal. I need someone to help me out with
"fixing" one of the scripts below or write something from scratch so
that we are able to convert old archives to the new format. 

Here is a gzipped tar archive with an old hypermail archive from
lists.suse.com:

Here are links to some hypermail to mbox scripts:

It would be very cool if someone other than me could do that. If you
want to  help out, you need more information or anything else then
answer to this mail or contact me directly.

TIA!

Henne
