那么，进一步的进展。这个工具：
在批量下载群组内容方面似乎相当好用——它能获取所有消息、文件、附件等。消息会被下载为两个 .json 文件，一个是“原始”格式，另一个是 HTML 格式。第一个文件看起来像这样：
{

"rawEmail": "Return-Path: <VHSProducts@...>\r\nX-Sender: VHSProducts@...\r\nX-Apparently-To: MicroTrak@yahoogroups.com\r\nReceived: (qmail 18487 invoked from network); 5 Jun 2007 03:13:19 -0000\r\nReceived: from unknown (66.218.67.36)\n by m50.grp.scd.yahoo.com with QMQP; 5 Jun 2007 03:13:19 -0000\r\nReceived: from unknown (HELO imo-m23.mx.aol.com) (64.12.137.4)\n by mta10.grp.scd.yahoo.com with SMTP; 5 Jun 2007 03:13:19 -0000\r\nReceived: from VHSProducts@...\n\tby imo-m23.mx.aol.com (mail_out_v38_r9.2.) id r.c7d.e5fe91c (29679)\n\t for <MicroTrak@yahoogroups.com>; Mon, 4 Jun 2007 23:12:11 -0400 (EDT)\r\nMessage-ID: <c7d.e5fe91c.33962e8b@...>\r\nDate: Mon, 4 Jun 2007 23:12:11 EDT\r\nTo: MicroTrak@yahoogroups.com\r\nMIME-Version: 1.0\r\nContent-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="-----------------------------1181013131"\r\nX-Mailer: 9.0 Security Edition for Windows sub 5365\r\n(snip)"
}
……而后者看起来像这样：

根据群组的不同，这些文件的数量可能达到数万甚至数十万。Yahoo 一如既往地屏蔽了普通用户的电子邮件地址——群组所有者可以看到，版主或许也能看到，但其他人则不行。现在需要看看是否有相对简单的方法将这些内容批量导入到 Discourse 实例中，或者是否最好使用我上面提到的工具。
该工具还会下载文件和照片，以及投票、日历和其他我不太在意但其他人可能需要的内容。
还有一点——仔细阅读 Yahoo 的公告后发现，他们不仅会移除文件和照片，还会彻底删除消息存档。这确实会让这些内容对任何用途都变得毫无价值。
