Hi All

We are trying to move to discourse but in order to do so I must be able to import all old chain mails we have aggregated in the past 2 years.

I am following the [instructions](https://meta.discourse.org/t/importing-mailing-lists-mbox-listserv-google-groups-emails/79773) and while the import works, there are two problematic issues:

1. The order of the topics is latest on top (which I know how to fix with rake)
2. The user is not imported, not staged, rather the posting user is **system**

This is problematic as we would not know whom to contact on one of the older answes given to a question.

I am running the latest version ([v2.2.0.beta8](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/compare/6c2333a780494fc1339b871211a309864fcd9cb4...tests-passed)). The following is my **settings.yml** file for import

```
data_dir: /shared/import/data
split_regex: "^From.*.+@tikalk.+"
default_trust_level: 1
prefer_html: true
staged: true
index_only: false
group_messages_by_subject: true

```

In my mbox files I have the following _From_ sections:

```
From: Yoav Nordmann <yoav.nordmann@tikalk.com>

```

Any ideas ?
