These are the files produced by the Mailman set up for the python.org
mailing lists, and are not encrypted.

I didn't have the same problem with the first two I tried decompressing:

2010-November.txt.gz.gz
2010-October.txt.gz.gz

Oddly, my Chrome browser on Mac added an extra .gz at the end. The Mac
GUI had no problem decompressing into plain text which appeared to be
non-scrambled.

I tried using the command line "tar" to decompress them but it appears
they are not "tar" archives. When I tried gunzip I saw the garbled
text, which must be the same thing you saw. Weird.
