I've been asked about downloading list archives.  They download as gzipped format for Mbox. Can anyone enlighten me? Lin

It does appear to be another option that perhaps shouldn't be there ? Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 06-Apr-18 10:38 PM, Lin Duke wrote: > I've been asked about downloading list archives.  They download as > gzipped format for Mbox. > > Can anyone enlighten me? > > Lin

If someone wants to download all the emails in an archive, that should be ok, shouldn't it? What would be the issue since the information is available on the internet? Lin, the Mbox format is mailbox. I don't know what the appropriate reader is for that...that is left up to the downloader to find.

Have tried several mbox viewers to open these files and have given it up as a bad job.
