Recreate missing mailing list archives from personal mailbox (Trac #1262)

[ajj]

Mail archives haven't been working since 2017. In order to recreate them, need to search/process personal mailbox to get all the messages into mbox format to then be uploaded and run through the mailman archiver.

• ajj changed _comment0 from:

Issues:

• Outlook output has ^M line breaks which need replacing with a line-feed. Had to use tr as BSD sed doesn't support \n as newline in replacements (nor does vi).
• Need to make sure search in Outlook doesn't capture emails which are a reply to a mailing list message but not back to the list. Use the "All recipients contains" and "All recipients does not contain" with sasview.org to check.
