Adding older mails to the squeakfoundation archive is very simple (Mailman stores a single unix-mbox file and it's possible to recreate the html with the "arch" tool)
Cool. Issue #1 solved. Now, how to get the content...
Some more details: You will have two directories,
mailman/archives/private/squeak-dev mailman/archives/private/squeak-dev.mbox
the directory squeak-dev.mbox contains a file squeak-dev.mbox, this is a normal mbox file. Add everything to this.
It should be sufficient to simply call "mailman/bin/arch squeak-dev" after that. But maybe you need to delete the html-redered files first, they are in the directory mailman/archives/private/squeak-dev
Luckily enough, 120Mb is small these days
The problem is not that it is big, but that it contains *all* incoming mail (squeak-dev, squeakland, privat, spam, cronreports). Yeah, very intelligent ;-) But Martin McClure's archive seems to be easier accessible and contains even older mails, so he saved me from sorting all that stuff... (Thanks!)
