Hallo Alex,
I was given a .zip file of the download from Yahoo for a group we
rescued.
It has the name 'groupname-yahoo-group-20191024T205025Z-001.zip
Extracted has a 'Files' folder plus several messages files like
'groupnamemessages30001-40000.txt'
Each message file is in the order of 50Mb and is a long continuous
series of messages each starting with :
From DummyAddressAndDate Thu Sep 16 11:42:17 2010
X-Yahoo-Msgnum: 1
X-Digest-Num: 2
Message-ID:
<106033.2.1.959270079@...>
Date: Thu, 18 Feb 1999 11:27:44 +0100
From: xxxxx
Subject: xxxxxxx
and separated by a few blank lines.
I hope this helps.
OK,
Tony

Before Yahoo closed I downloaded from one group I had there 20
years of posts.
I did it with PG-downloader. And I have those in PG-downloader
which offers several formats it's willing to export to.
I also took advantage of Yahoo letting me download the archive in
an MBOX file.
So in addition to the question about a tutorial on the import
process I have these questions:
# I'll be dammed if I can remember where
I put the MBOX files from Yahoo.
Does anyone know what extension they/it would have, or what the
default file name would be if my group's name was CNVC-trainers?
That info could help me find those/that file.
# PG-downloader will export to SQLLite dump, MySQL dump, plain
text (pipe delimited HTML),?
plain text (pipe delimited text).? ??
Are any of those formats of any use for importing into a groups.io
message archive?
Sure would appreciate any help with that.
OR? ?does anyone have any suggestion of a way to make the archive
I have in PG-downloader available to many users .... Short of
telling all of them to install a copy of PG-downloader?
Help..... I hate to have the community lose two decades of
history.
Alex
