There are mbox files available for download from the list archives --
would that work for you? It can be done on a per-thread basis as well,
i guess, but that's not something we have now (that is, we don't have
a unique listing of threads). But if you're building your own
threading on it, then the monthly mbox files at
https://www.postgresql.org/list/pgsql-bugs/ should be enough?
