| + | ====== Can you use mailman archives? ====== | ||
| + | |||
| + | We *can* use mailman's pipermail archives, but it's best if it's done as a final filler for anything not collected elsewhere, for these reasons: | ||
| + | |||
| + | - Mailman's pipermail .gz archives are not, technically, valid mailboxes (they don't properly escape "From " in message bodies). They must be mangled in order to be properly imported. | ||
| + | - They have bare minimal headers that don't include any "Received" lines, original recipients, cc's, or List-ID. | ||
| + | - They mangle the mime structure of the message to scrub any attachments, including digital signatures. | ||
| + | - They escape email addresses to make @->" at " replacements, which must then be replaced back. | ||
| + | |||
| + | We suggest you proceed with archive collection per above, and then fill in any missing bits with pipermail archives as the last step (the list-archive-marker.py script has automated functionality to do this). | ||
