One more point. The moderator of this defunct list moved the group
from its old place on bikelist.org to Google Groups. It's been there
already for several years. I would propose just stuffing the archives
into the new group except said moderator made the archives of the new
group open only to subscribers. Now that it's been running that way
for several years, it's a bit late to open things up.

I think the existing archives are in MH format. Shouldn't be too
difficult to generate
the usual Mailman-style mbox-file-per-month or perhaps one per year.
