I'm not sure if this is the right forum or not, but I'm about to set up a FUD forum for my group and it sounds like the right place. Currently we run a discussion group via a mailing list. The mailing list runs using ezmlm, which I understand is very similar to a standard listserv.
My question is are there mailing list converters available, and if so where might I find them?
I want to convert my mailing list so that I don't just lose all of the archive information, and my members see all the old threads. Any ideas?

Well, do you have a database of somesort a text file or SQL db with all the data? If so, then you could write a conversion script, based on existing conversion scripts avaliable. Since you'd be converting simple text data (user,subject,message) this should be a fairly easy script to cook up.

Thanks for the quick reply. I looked at most of the scripts on this site and they all seem targeted to databases of some kind. Would there be something somewhere that you know which converts basic listserv (email/text) info?

fraid not, but as I've said before the database (text) you are going to be importing contain very little data, essentially 4-5 fields that you care about. I do not imagine an import utility would be difficult to create.
