Hannu,

Go to the message you need in the archive and follow the "Raw text" link
near the top.  This should get you the raw text of most messages.  Just
cut-and-paste into any mbox-formatted file.  Mailers like "pine" have no
problems reading these files as message folders and responding to the
messages in them.

The "Raw text" link doesn't work for some messages, though; not sure why,
and haven't had the time to look into it in depth; seems the message ID is
missing or incorrect.
	Igor
