After several long days of coding, hacking, and slowly figuring out what was what, I have gotten the R90S Worldnet up and archived under the forum software we use!  I honestly thought it was going to take a few more days, but today was going my way!  :-)

Please take a look at the website at: 

There are 51,977 messages in groups.io.
I was able to move 51,971 messages over.  6 were simply bad.

Some of the threading is not perfect, i.e.  you may see duplicate subject titles. I am still trying to make that better as the main problem stems from the way email handles replies and some of them are simply not correct in the file from groups.io.  Still working on that.

If you are so inclined, the actual program I wrote is attached as well so you can check it out.  I will likely keep tuning the conversion, but once I get a consensus that things are okay I will move it to the live server.

ANY comments or thoughts are welcome!!!

Best,

James
