Good point, noted.

All right. I also was somehow not comfortable with the configuration
file. The RFC being a Debian config file standard is a good idea.

Woah! If you notice the URL:
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/cdd-commits/. The February
2009 mbox is in plain text instead of gzip and this is what caused the
problem. I can add an exception but this is a weird and an exceptional
case itself!
Otherwise it works. You can try it with some other lists, just for
confirmation.

I somehow suspected that we would want it to run silently. I will
follow the DEBUG variable approach.

Ok.

Thanks for the suggestions, I am going to implement them soon and then
we will proceed.

Don't worry, I will ping you every time I send an email until this is fixed :-)
