Yes, I have tar.gz files containing the original messages in mbox
format for all the lists from the beginning of time (1992) to the
point when the lists were moved to mailman. If you need more recent
messages, you'll have to get them from the mailman archives (those
files have "@" converted to " at " but do have Message-Id, References,
and In-Reply-To fields preserved). The total size of the compressed
files is about 28MB.
