I've got a little present for you. Few days ago I wanted to find something in the ML archives and I (again) realized how horrible is to read those harvested messages on the web. Some googling and pythoning resulted in this:
http://mikro.atari.org/mint (you can find many historical figures in there :))
Btw, this could be done in 'realtime' with the current traffic, too. Mhonarc project (
http://www.mhonarc.org) is the tool to use. So if someone brave with spare time would like to look into this, I'm sure Alan and/or Rob would allow them to install that on
sparemint.org.
