Re: Importing/Uploading Messages to a Groups.IO Group

If the archive was downloaded using PG Offline, then you can convert the messages into pdf files and upload the pdf file to GIO as files.

I have a copy of the message archive backed up. Now, how do I import it to a Groups.IO group? I?see?export/download buttons for messages (.mbox files) but?not?import/upload ones at Groups.IO. And just to avoid answers that don't apply... some background. One of the members of my group was able to make a copy of the message archive of an old Yahoo Group that no longer has a living owner. Thus, it was not possible for that group to participate in a group transfer. As Mark Fletcher said to me in an email: "...If you can't make the [email protected] member a moderator of the group, then the transfer can't happen." But a member of that group does have backed up a copy of the contents of the message archive. At one of my Groups.IO groups I would be happy to create a sub-group dedicated to the contents of that particular old Yahoo group IF there can be a way to?IMPORT/UPLOAD messages to the sub-group? If that's not possible, I suppose the best we can do in that case is to convert the odd ball file type Yahoo gives out into a readable PDF File, which can be uploaded to the files section.? Any recommendations about converting those into PDF?
