There's also an mbox format archive for people who really want the bits at:

https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/text/

It's rsync-able.

If people want the mail archive to show HTML, there's certainly plenty of HTML sanitizers
we could use to show the HTML version of messages if we thought that was a good use of
the tools team's time.

On the other hand, perhaps we could make up our mind first whether formatted e-mail is a
part of the way the world works now, or it's a scourge to be stomped out.  Like, you know, NAT.

R's,
John
