Import compressed mbox file

Open Vigilans opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

Currently IETNG does not do compressed import, see https://github.com/thunderbird/import-export-tools-ng/issues/390.

Linux kernel mailing lists in web supports downloading the thread in compressed mbox (mbox.gz) format, e.g. https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/ with mbox.gz download link https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/t.mbox.gz.

If IETNG supports import from mbox.gz, then when importing we can directly fill the download link to the dialog, let it download the mbox and automatically import to Thunderbird, instead of having to download manually to local, uncompress it and import with IETNG.
