nope... i once exported them so each message was a text file...
that was silly... now i export lumps of messages to one text file
based on either a number count or a date spread... since june, i've
made two archives (of at least 250MB) of 20,000 list administration
notices... the only reason i chose 20k is that at around that
number, it takes about a half-second to draw the contents of the
mail folder in Pegasus, and that's too long for me...

otherwise, nope, just plain text files, stored in folders to correspond
with my mail folders...
