I'd very much like to see the archives in a downloadable form. Peter

Can you make the raw mbox archive available, or do you have that? If it's less than about 200 meg, I can also receive it as an attachment, if you're sadistic with your mail server.
Let me think about it, and maybe ask some of the list members. The HTML that appears on the web page is sanitized a bit to prevent address harvesting. Not that c-punks' addresses are that hard to obtain other ways, but when I started the archive several people emphatically stated that they wanted the sanitizing.
Maybe I'll write a short script to sanitize the addresses in the mbox. That'll take a while to develop, to make sure I don't miss anything and because my spare time is limited for the next month and a half.
If I do make the mboxes available, they'll be available as .gz's off my top cypherpunks page. I'll post to the list if I do it.
List members: any preferences?
