The old .mbox was convenient, as one could just fetch the ones not
downloaded already (like I used to have:
  wget --continue https://notmuchmail.org/archives/notmuch.mbox
)

Now it looks like one has to re-download the whole archive every time...

(perhaps that is tolerable, like everything else -- probably no-one
 else than me used the --continue and the rate of downloads
 is probably pretty small)

... Downloaded current (25 683 788 bytes in size). Some notes :D

1) files not sorted. if using modern GNU tar, --sort=name would be nice.

2) some files in notmuch-list/new/, some in notmuch-list/cur/. kinda ugly ;/
   (some --xform perhaps to unify?)

Thank you for making the archive avalable (in published location).
