I know Wilson was working on an MBox import...will we be able to export to Mbox?

Hi,

So there is an MBOX import in 907 but it needs special handling.

It takes the X-Apparently-To:  field as the group name.

E.g.

X-Apparently-To: cetarch@yahoogroups.com


so the bit between X-Apparently-To: & "@"   is the groupname.

which is all fine and well until its X-Apparently-To: bob@gmail.com

which we didn't expect.

So you need to clean your MBOX file before import to insure all occurrences are in this form

X-Apparently-To: <groupname>@yahoogroups.com


There are no plans for MBOX export.

Although I think I did write a PG4 to MBOX python program.

So if you send me your PG4 file I can convert it for you.

Or I can send you the Python code.

I'd love to test the python code. I'll send you a PM

Here it is (attached).

I can't remember how far I got with it.

I think it works...
