Hi there,
is there any chance to get hold of a complete archive of the RC mailings list in original mbox format starting at, say, January 2011?
I'm asking, because: We're in the process of finally kicking Squirrel and making RC our standard webmailer. There are still some show stoppers, though, but we would like to avoid raising issues which may have been discussed at length before already.
I know that there is an Pipermail archive available, but that's not very convenient to read (especially as it's lacking of a search function and can be read only month by month). And the downloadable archive files in plain text format are crippled in many ways (most of the headers are missing, especially Content-Type and Charset, all non-ASCII characters are replaced with "?" and "@" with " at " , etc. pp.).
So an mbox archive would really be of help. Can somebody provide this in some way?
TIA,

How can I download the archive as a file rather than loading the stuff into the browser and saving it from there?
And if there is no other way than saving it through the browser, which encoding shall I use? UTF-8?
I definitely want to avoid to alter anything in headers or bodies, so a direct download would be much preferred.

No, use a Browser without pseudo-intelligence.

Or a tool like wget or curl.

I tried wget (before I raised the question, of course). It doesn't work with http://lists.roundcube.net/mailman/private/users.mbox/users.mbox - it just gets the intro web page where you have to enter your mail address and password (even with the parameters "--user=listuser@freexp.de" and "--password=xxxxxxx").
Anyway, FF seems to have done the job. Although it's still not clear to me what's exactly happening with 8bit chars and how they are transmitted/encoded from the list server to the browser, from there to the local disk and then to our server.

I download the mbox-Archivs with Firefox 11, Michael hat bad experience with Internet Explorer 8.

But this is nothing for this list. I explain it to Michael by Personal E-Mail.
