AFAIK, there isn't a direct way to get an archive out of eGroups.

It would be easy to write a little script, say in Python using urllib, to 
read each of the messages, strip out the extraneous HTML, and build 
archive.

The messages can be retrieved with a URL in the form 
"http://www.egroups.com/message/boost/1234" where 1234 is the message 
number.

Any volunteers?
