(basically, if public-inbox accepted mbox format we could do what we need, straight away. the conversion process and the extra CPU time is not a problem, because we already have to accept that overhead on conversion, and the lists each month are not that big: 700 messages or so). are we missing something really simple? if we subscribe a local user on the server (inbox@libre-riscv.org) to the actual list, then configure that local account to have mail delivered Maildir format, would that do the trick? tia, l.
