[Bug 283751] Re: feature request: fetch archived emails

[Nikodemus Siivola]

I miss this semi-regularly -- maybe a few times a year.

For some reason an email goes astray or doesn't arrive (doesn't matter
if I binned it by accident or if my mailhost was down or whatever), or I
want to reply to a message from before my subscription.

Then I always pine for the bad old days of majordomo when I could send a
request for /specific/ old mails, and lo! there they would be -- and
everything archives nicely and conversations remain threaded.

Getting the list archives isn't always possible -- not every list makes
the mbox available (eg. SourceForge uses mailman and doesn't give mbox
files to hoi polloi) -- and reply munging is tedious, and possible with
all clients.

Please, please, please consider this. This is my only major beef with
mailman.
