I hope somebody does archive the group. I'm currently archiving
a local history group I'm a member of, 30,000 messages and
a couple of hundred files.

The URL structure is fairly simple, I'm using iMacros with the
following script:

VERSION BUILD=7601015 RECORDER=FX
SET !ERRORIGNORE YES
TAB T=1
SET page EVAL("var page={{!LOOP}} + 0; page;")
URL
GOTO=https://uk.groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/thewhitbygroup/conversations/messages/{{page}}
WAIT SECONDS=1
SAVEAS TYPE=HTM FOLDER=* FILE=msg-{{page}}

tho' it tends to crash Firefox after about 2000 files, so I have
to edit the +0 bit and restart it.
