I agree with Lars that lost archives are a problem, but a whole lot of work to solve.

For this particular case where we have an interested customer, it would be sufficient to ask the people who *sent* any archived emails to the list if they are OK with releasing them, so we don't need to reconstruct the whole membership list. I can see 16 distinct senders in my personal (very incomplete) archive.
