A few days ago, I found myself wishing I had a blog post from back in the days when I hosted my own Roller blog. Tracking the post down ended up not being worth the trouble because the only copy I had left was in a mysql database on an old, Linux-formatted hard drive sitting in the bottom of my closet. When I started this blog, I went out of my way to keep the same URL for the XML feed so readers wouldn't have to resubscribe. I was screwing around in Bloglines a couple of minutes ago and clicked "All Posts" for my blog. Low and behold, Bloglines has what appears to be a near-complete history dating back a few years including the post I was looking for! Score one for web-based readers. Now if I could only extract my old emails out of Mail.app's cache on my laptop, I could throw the hard drive away. In case anyone has any ideas, I need to serve the emails up with a POP3 server in order to import them. They're stored in separate files. If I just cat them all together, will that be a valid mbox file?
