Re: [Mailman-Developers] [Bug 283751] Re: feature request: fetch archived emails
This seems "out of place" for MM, per se. Providing this material is something that is intimately tied to the archiver.
As I see it, the only thing that MM can do is to provide a "pass thru" conduit to whatever archiver the installation has chosen.

I think we'll probably do something like this in Mailman 3, but also, I'm much more fond of providing a Gmane-like NNTP interface to the archives. I find myself subscribing to fewer mailing lists these days and just reading (and replying!) to them via Gmane. Works great.

I think this is exactly right for read-only NNTP, and in fact the current MM3 NNTP bridge could probably be rewritten as an archiver plugin (that's not a bad idea for someone looking to do a bite-size branch!). I think there would need to be tighter integration for the posting side, a la Gmane. Unlike Gmane though, if you post through NNTP and we "know who you are", we wouldn't need to do the verification dance.
