I'm not sure, but it looks like the new system is custom software developed just for these IETF archives, rather than something that will be generally applicable. Should we start work on a new crawler for this IETF software? Or are there likely to be .mbox or other archives we can get directly without scraping message by message?</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">—Nick</div></body></html>
