The list's *nix mbox format archive can be downloaded. Depending on the
site's setting of PUBLIC_MBOX, there may be a link to this on the
list's archive table of contents page. Even if there is no link, it
can be retrieved by going to the private archive URL of the form

http://www.example.com/mailman/private/LISTNAME

and authenticating and then going to a URL of the form

http://www.example.com/mailman/private/LISTNAME.mbox/LISTNAME.mbox

This mbox file can be imported or directly opened as a folder in many
mail clients.

This might satisfy your need, but Mailman has no facility to request
archived messages or archives be sent via email.
