Hi,

The following is a partial extract from my attempt to 
make a copy of the messages directory of Yahoo group 
that I moderate. I have attempted to use the method 
described by Kjell Knudsen, on Saturday, March 24, 
2001.

My first attempt encountered a modified script name.
My second attempt encountered a javascript program that 
no longer uses the standard authentication algorithms.

Yahoo Groups performance has become bad enough that 
many of the members of the emaillist-moderators group 
are interested in a reliable method to create a 
non-Yahoo archive of their group.

Any suggestions?
WebZIP after manually getting through security was able 
to download, but harvested too much. Ideally one is 
only interested in the message(s) not the generated 
lists about the messages, nor the expanded/non-expanded 
views of the same information ...

WebCopier got something, but again not the desired 
results.
