In current versions, this is disabled by default. You don't need to
change any templates to enable it. The default template is
templates/<language>/archtocnombox.html. The template you want is
templates/<language>/archtoc.html.

To enable use of the archtoc.html template and access to the .mbox
files, just put

PUBLIC_MBOX = Yes

in mm_cfg.py.

I think in order to make this effective for existing lists, after you
put the above mm_cfg.py you will have to rebuild the archive for each
list with

bin/arch --wipe <listname>

Also note that if you have a list with an archive with no messages in
it, the above may fail because there is no
archives/private/<listname>.mbox/<listname>.mbox file. If this
happens, you can recover with

bin/arch <listname> /dev/null

I.e. no --wipe option and null input mbox.
