Hi Bob,

I wrote a basic script to compute the number of emails per PEP. It requires to download gzipped mbox files from the web page of archives per month, then ungzip them:

Results:

> I've been trying to figure out how to access the archives programmatically. I'm sure this is easy once you know, but googling various things hasn't worked.  What I want to do is graph the number of messages about PEP 572 by time.  (or has someone already done that?)
