It may depend on how you downloaded them. If you used the Chrome app from YahooGroupedia that's probably the best, as it will include the full view source of each message. If you screen-scraped them from the Conversations section that probably wouldn't work with the tools he has. It is also possible he'd be willing to update the archive using the tools he's written.
Yes, I did use the Chrome App and will write to Mark to ask him. Right now, it's working well for downloading member lists and for a small group of messages, but not for a whole message archive. It's too bad it has come to that with Yahoogroups.

It is an account setting. Choose Account from the drop-list on your name, on the right in the top blue banner.
Too late now for the transferred members, but there's also a default you can set for new members who join in the future. Find that on the Default Sub Settings tab of your group's Settings page.
This is great. I did this for myself and for the group. I am only sorry I did not see this when I was going through the settings before the transfer. I am going to send an email to the members to explain it to them. No one has asked about it, but anyone who reads online must be confused, as we are 10 hours ahead of PST.

No.
That's not good. That long footer comes out in two sections. I put the URL of our website in the Message Footer section of my group and it's coming out between the two sections. Doesn't make sense and looks very strange. Also, many of the member of my group only have email access and don't even have Internet access at all, so none of the links in the automatic footer are useful to them. I was thinking of putting some of the email commands in the group's Message Footer section, for them to use, but it will be so long and if it comes out after the automatic footer, it's pretty much useless.
I will write to Mark about that. Do you think I should write to support or to the beta group?
I had another question, but didn't write it down, and now forgot it. Oh, well. When I remember, I'll just have to send another message. :)
Thanks so much, Shal, for your help.
