How can I read these mailing list archives?

How can I read these mailing list archives?

[Jason L Tibbitts III]

I have the contents of a mailing list that goes back several years that I
would like to dump into one big newsgroup and read.  Unfortunately, the
archives are monthly and don't include full headers.  This is all I get:

----- Last bit of a message here -----
and would like to share some knowledge with me. Any thoughts or comments will
be appreciated.

Cheers!

Paco,
about treating folded models to give them more permanence...
---- Rest of message follows -----


Note also that each message is separated by at least four blank lines and
the headers do not come in any order.  Does anyone have any idea how I
might coerce these into gnus to read?

This is the sort of thing nndoc was designed to deal with.  Let's
see...

You could add this to `nndoc-type-alist':

    (odd-archive
     (article-begin . "\n\n\n\n+[^ ]+:"))

Then create an nndoc group (`G f') and set `nndoc-article-type' in the
select method to `odd-archive'.  (`G e' to edit the select method.)
