Is it worth putting a copy of this mailing list into the Unix Archive?
I don't want to dump the mbox in, as it has all our e-mail addresses:
spam etc. I could symlink in the monthly text archives, e.g.
http://minnie.tuhs.org/pipermail/tuhs/2016-December.txt.gz
What do you think? Perhaps in Documentation/TUHS_Mail?
Warren

It definitely ought to be archived, if you can obscure the email addresses
whilst making them humanoid-readable. Damned spammers...
Could the task (of de-spamming the archive) be farmed out to some
volunteers? I will raise my hand, of course.

Eh... I think the horse has already bolted:
http://minnie.tuhs.org/pipermail/tuhs/2017-February/008526.html
It would seem to be relatively easy to harvest the addresses of all posters already.

I've symlinked the mailman text archives in to the archive here:
http://www.tuhs.org/Archive/Documentation/TUHS/Mail_list/
Mailman does obfuscate the e-mail addresses somewhat.
Cheers, Warren

I think like the UTZOO archives, it would be incredibly invaluable

The archive files already have the email addresses minimally obfuscated
(with "at"), and are already available in the right hand column at
http://minnie.tuhs.org/pipermail/tuhs/ (which is probably a softer
target for spam bots than the archive itself) - it seems unlikely that
putting them in as-is would increase the amount of spam people get.
