<br class="">A few months ago I wrote a tool in Elixir to better browse the mailing list archives by thread. Demo is here (forgive the frontend dev skills):<br class=""><br class=""><a href="https://swift-archive-staging.herokuapp.com" class="">https://swift-archive-staging.herokuapp.com</a><br class=""><br class="">As part of that, I added support for converting posts to markdown and clipping long quotations (though sadly that has not yet been deployed to the above link). It's quite a bit of work, but ultimately it probably makes sense to clean up the data before we pull it in to Discourse (prune long quotations, convert to markdown, reparent orphan replies (such as this one), etc). If we do decide to move to Discourse (which I'd strongly support), I'd gladly put in the effort to clean up threads before we import them.
