see if there is any limit?

Coincidentally I was experimenting with gaining back copies from an ezmlm server. In my case the service advertises a limit of 100 messages per request, and responds to each request with a single digest.

I also experimented with setting the reply-to address to the special Nabble address for the forum, but ezmlm delivered the digest to me.

mbox and eml formats

software than turn emails in your email client into a mbox file.

I have the one digest saved by Apple Mail as
ui Digest of_ get.1_100.eml
— is it worth experimenting with that .eml, or shall I first place that message in a mailbox then archive the box?

(Apple Mail.app 3.5 (930.3) archives to .mbox format by default.)

Duplicates

This particular
ui Digest of_ get.1_100.eml
comprises some messages that are already archived by Nabble.

Might duplication occur, or is Nabble sensitive to the
Message-ID
header when importing?

(Speeding through the .eml of the one digest, I see Message-ID but no References headers. I don't know what's normal for digests.)
