Mail archives

Our website keeps pointing to webweaving.org which has been stating that
"the archives are currently not reachable" for several months now. It
itself points to covalent.net where some archives can be found but turn
out not to be reliable despite covalent's people efforts who I have to
bug everyone now and then.

I find it crucial to have reliable mail archives available and this is
just not it. So, I'd like this issue to be addressed seriously now.
Who could set something up on the Apache site itself?

mail-archive.com is pretty good. it's a real pain to add a mailing list to
it though if you're not the list admin and the list requires confirmation.
i think apache should have its own mail archives.

Aren't there some public mailing list archival web sites out
there? What do other people use for archiving mailing lists?

Where can I download these mbox files?

Whatever kind of mailing list archives we'll use, please give me also
the opportunity of downloading the (ideally compressed) mbox files! I
would like to add archived mails to my database, and downloading every
message by hand via a HTML interface is a pain. Splitting mbox files is
easy: Just split at each "\nfrom " or "\nFrom " (the blank is
*important*!).

BTW, +1 for hosting the archives at *.apache.org!

Best regards,
Martin Stricker

afaik, brian's done a good bit of work making all of the list's mbox
archives available, we just need to add some sort of web interface. at the
asf members meeting, ed korthof expressed some interest in tackling that,
dunno when he has time tho. i've cc:d him in case he wants to say... :)
