I find mbox to be a very useful format.

One of my major frustrations with Yahoo groups is the lack of any bulk
download capability, or any way of importing group archives into a
offline reader, other than saving individual posts.

There is a widely available perl script that downloads en masse
from Yahoo into mbox format.

One caveat is one's Yahoo account can get "locked out" for
awhile if too much is downloaded at one time.

A Google search on "yahoo2mbox" will point you to the perl
program and also many forums discussing how to get-around
Yahoo's restrictions.

Before you go to the trouble, remember that the digest's archives are
already available in mbox format, either from the web page, or from me
if you need something more recent.
