How can I run my own archive of a public mailing list, if the list owners don't provide one?

Question

I want to archive messages from any mailing list, like you see on the web, with threaded/nested conversations in HTML, etc.

I want to put this on my own private website. Let's assume I have their permission for this.

The reason I want this is so I'm not restricted to my email client if I want to browse and search old messages from mailing lists.

Answer 1

I'm not exactly sure what you want, but here's a couple of suggestions. There are web based email clients you could install, plus i have a mailing list manager that might help you, not sure where I got it from so I can't give you a link but would be happy to make it downloadable for you.

The web based client that I found to be best in terms of operation, installation, customisation, is called Iloha mail, again i could send that to you but you may be able to google it.

Answer 2

Archive them to a database



Although much more technical this is better.



Otherwise just use Outlook and use a program like Lookout search



Lookout is better and faster then Outlook search and will Index properly

Answer 3

Wget the site, if you have permission ..
