This is a shortened version of what I had working for my first draft of
the mail archive for the lists, before I switched to pulling the entries
from the news server.

You will need to define $PATH as the path to your maildir directories. 
The script will create the directory for each list as "docs", "bugs", etc.
 If you want different names, there's a trick to automatically reassign
the names that I can dig up.

To be safe, stick some mail messages into individual files and give this a
manual test from the command line.
