After subscribing to a mailing list, I find that the only way to access
the postings that predate my subscription require using a web browser. I
need to search the old postings, so I'd like to get them into my Email.
The mailing list is set up so that only 50 messages in a 48 hour period
can be forwarded. Moreover, forwarding makes everything appear to have
come from me rather than the original poster, making search phrases more
difficult to construct.

So the question to ask is (I think), "is there a program that can http
each message in the mailing list and transfer the result to Email?".

This could be directly to a special mailbox or be sent via our SMTP
server to the correct mailbox. It might even be possible to save the
(more than 39,000) messages as separate files and then send those to our
SMTP server; it doesn't matter _how_ it happens.

I've thought about 'wget -O' but can't figure out how. The message URLs
are consistent but not sequential:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MESSEDUPGROUP/message/18
then
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MESSEDUPGROUP/message/48

Suggestions, please.

Look for the archive downloads? Alternative repository sites, etc.

Dunno if this helps with hayooo though.
