</div>I used the windows system to copy the url of the Oct file. Then on<br>
a linux box I downloaded the archive:<br>
<br>
wget <a href="http://www.tapr.org/pipermail/nos-bbs/2013-October.txt.gz" target="_blank">http://www.tapr.org/pipermail/nos-bbs/2013-October.txt.gz</a><br>
<br>
Then I decompressed it:<br>
<br>
gzip -d 2013-October.txt.gz<br>
<br>
Then I edited it:<br>
<br>
vi 2013-October.txt<br>
<br>
It looks like a standard Email archive in VI... Was it a different<br>
file that's having these issues?<br>
