Oh well, now this isn't necessary since Netscape mail files are
usuable. But I thought people might be curious.

You can get a local mirror of the archive site by running:

wget -r -l2 --no-parent \
     http://www.gnome.org/mailing-lists/archives/gnome-gui-list/

(assuming, of course, that you have wget)

It's not terribly fast (those HTTP connnections are a lot of
overhead), but it works unattended and gives you local copies of all
the posts to the list.  wget is pretty darn spiffy (-r=recursive,
-l2=go to two levels of recursion, --no-parent=don't go through parent
directories).
