Which service is this? We're looking for one for some other lists. >There is a nifty WWW email-list archiving service that is free & robust. >It's been in service since 1998, and is still in full swing. It has some >advantages of being sortable by thread (!) or by date. > >Anybody here could add our PowerMail-Discuss list to it, but I'm happy to >handle it. It's no trouble. The result will be publicly web-searchable >list archive, constantly updated. We still use this service to archive >the Claris Emailer Talk list. We just don't want to "overdo" it by having >several people all begin the archive at once. If someone else feels >strongly that they must be the point person on this, fine, whatever. >Otherwise I'll do it. > >I have personal PM list archives dating back to 7/2/04, which I could add >to the public mail list archive. If someone else has much deeper >archives, let me know offlist, and let's coordinate it. It needs to be in >unix MBOX format, and I believe that PowerMail can export a folder of >mail to an mbox format easily. That's the same as "Unix mailbox" isn't it? > File-> DataBase-> export -> (selected mail folders)-> Unix Mailbox (do >not include attachments). > >As part of the archiving process, the service automatically obscures any >email addresses, to help prevent spammers from harvesting them.
