OK, so I understand how to clone archives from lore.kernel.org and how to convert a git archive to a maildir (thanks, Konstantin!) What I *don't* understand is how to effectively read this locally. Ideally I'd like to run mutt, possibly with notmuch for indexing. But a maildir with 3M files seems impractical. I did actually try it (without notmuch), but it takes mutt about 5 minutes to start up. And the maildir is about 23G, compared with 7.5G for the git archive. Any pointers? I guess there's no mutt backend that can read a public-inbox archive directly? _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
