Just tried it and looks like mailing list still provides an invalid archive. If someone want to fix the mailing list or implement a new way of getting the mail I'm happy to run it.
Apparently, having a corrupt export method is a feature.
Here is some information about the archive. I hacked the URLs that were being tried in [1] and [2], removing the start and end parameters. === download: $ wget -P dl 'https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/factory@lists.opensuse.org/export/f...' 'wget' did not report any errors. === file size: $ stat -c '%s' dl/factory@lists.opensuse.org-2021-07.mbox.gz 90009028 === uncompressed data available: $ zcat dl/factory@lists.opensuse.org-2021-07.mbox.gz |wc -c gzip: dl/factory@lists.opensuse.org-2021-07.mbox.gz: unexpected end of file 317069695 === file: $ file dl/factory@lists.opensuse.org-2021-07.mbox.gz dl/factory@lists.opensuse.org-2021-07.mbox.gz: gzip compressed data, from Unix, original size modulo 2^32 2147122926 gzip compressed data, unknown method, ASCII, has CRC, from FAT filesystem (MS-DOS, OS/2, NT), original size modulo 2^32 2147122926 'file' reports "from Unix" and "from FAT filesystem". What does that mean? === difference of the "original size" reported by 'file' from 2 GiB: $ expr 2147122926 - 256 \* 256 \* 256 \* 128 -360722 That is very close to 2 GiB. Is a size limit being reached, especially since a FAT filesystem may be involved? === gzip file test: $ gzip -t dl/factory@lists.opensuse.org-2021-07.mbox.gz gzip: dl/factory@lists.opensuse.org-2021-07.mbox.gz: unexpected end of file This shows that the downloaded gzip archive is corrupt/truncated, not just the contained mbox file. === first, last posts in the archive: From hvogel@suse.de Fri Nov 11 12:45:37 2005 From jmscdba+tw@gmail.com Mon Jul 12 17:05:43 2021 This leads me to wonder about the URL specification. What is the "2021-07" supposed to do?
