Ah, one more important thing to note:
Ultimately what we need are individual patch mbox files that we can
apply with "git-am", that is, step (7).
If groups.io allows us to download the "raw" variant of each email
that they display on the WebUI, we could likely jump to step (7) at
once. The rest of the steps are really just working around gnu
mailman.
Cheers,
Stephano

Hey Shal,
Sorry for the slow responses. I'm working with folks in the UK so the
timezone shift with questions is fun. :)
Here is the the process my owners are trying to reproduce (how they
work with GNU Mailman):
(1) download the compressed mailbox file for the month I'm interested
in, such as
(2) decompress the file: gunzip 2019-February.txt.gz
(3) make sure that my INBOX is currently empty
(4) use the "mb2md" utility to split the mailbox into individual
message files, and place them in my local $HOME/Maildir directory:
mb2md -s 2019-February.txt
(5) Now my INBOX is filled with the edk2-devel messages & threads from
February 2019. I use the normal Thunderbird functionality to delete
everything that I don't want.
(6) The remaining messages are what I'm interested in. For example, I
can save individual patches or series of patches to local *.eml files,
with Ctrl+S.
(7) Once I have the *.eml files, I can apply them to my local edk2
clone with "git-am".
Let me know if you have any questions on that workflow. It is very
helpful when trying to retrieve old patches that aren't in your
personal archive somewhere.
Cheers,
Stephano

The View Source item in the More menu is the way to see the raw message
header and body text.
It sounds like you're looking for something else, but I'm not sure what.
Can you elaborate on what you're hoping to see?
