There is one temporarily, let's see if it's still there...

try

ftp://ftp.let.uu.nl/pub/users/Jules.vanWeerden/context.zip

Jules put it there for me so I could take a selection of articles from it for the MAPS publication.

One little problem that I had with this file: when unzipping, you find that every message is one file with the filename identica to
the subject line. This means that some messages have funny characters in the filename like question marks and .. dots which makes
DOS put the file in the root dir (..) or it confuses DOS with the funny characters that are usually not in filenames.

If you could produce an archive that won't lose messages like I had, that would be a great help!

What I did was:

1) make a directory listing of all files/messages that survived the unzip operation
2) have this sorted
3) add TYPE before every line and >>ALL after it
4) run it as a batchfile command
thus creating one file with all visible messages in one consecutive order.
