And now you see why Pipermail never gets much better.  ;)

I'm not blaming you personally of course, it's just that I think when  
people feel enough pain from Pipermail, rather than try to scratch  
that itch, they'd rather spend the time integrating a better archiver.

I've always said that Pipermail is bundled solely to make it easy for  
people to have a complete solution out of the box.  I don't have much  
interest in bundling some other (non-Python) archiver with the source  
distro, although I'd have no problems with downstream packagers doing  
that if they wanted to.
