I finally managed to pry the archives of the old mailing list out of Yahoo's hands. Is there any interest in preserving these historical emails? I'm not sure how to get them into groups.io, and it would still be a fair amount of work to put them on my website.

I will keep them regardless, should opinions change in the future.

I think it would be nice to have the history available to look back for previous discussions of howtos and bugs and such. If you can figure out how to import them into 开云体育 that would be awesome.

Hi.

From memory, at least one other ex Yahoo group, has made the past
history of Yahoo group messages available in a groups.io file folder, as
just one massive text file, that of course can be searched.

Crude, but it works.

The download Yahoo gave me was four enormous files in old-style mbox format, so they are going to be fun to separate. If I can't figure out how to post them to groups.io in a reasonable format (reconstructing discussion threads, etc.), I may post them on my own website off the YAAC page.

I'm surprised there isn't a way to import them into the groups.io posts if they are already in mbox format...

I haven't seen anything on the groups.io admin menus to do it. I might be able to manually post them elsewhere, but that still requires either having giant disorganized blobs or breaking them up into individual messages myself.

If I can provide any assistance wrangling the Knox files let me know. I’ve experience doing this sort of thing in the past.

I've recently converted a group I manage (dedicated to sci-fi author
Clifford Simak) from Yahoo to 开云体育.

Apparently there was sporadic support for message conversion but Yahoo
changed some things and this is a frequently broken feature. I was
unable to find it on the 开云体育 menus, so it's either broken again,
requires a premium subscription (or both).

The other possibility is the Internet Archive's Wayback machine:
. But I've not been able to identify a
crawl-able rollup page of messages like the sort used by SourceForge
lists (for example, wsjt-x):
.

You can plug that URL into the Wayback Machine and see some snapshots,
though none appear to be current, and the ability to readily search
archival snapshots is questionable.

I suppose, in the end, people probably don't want to simply bring them
in as groups.io posts, or subscribers will find themselves inundated by
hundreds of (old) e-mails. Perhaps a big searchable TXT file is as good
as it gets. I usually keep about 2-3 years of my lists locally,
including yaac-users, in a local Thunderbird folder. But for exporting,
you'd probably want to exclude the message headers and Yahoo-added
footers. I don't see an obvious way to do that without coding.
