Mailing list datasets

Question

Related to this question:

• Obtaining personal mail corpus

I'm looking for a list of archived public mailing lists from diverse communities and in diverse languages.

For example, a list would look like this:

English

• www.fake-link.com, Debian Linux

• www.fake-link.com, Bird Watching group

German

• www.fake-link.de, Fans of Berlin

• www.fake-link.de, Photography club

and so on (und so weiter)

One way would be to find these mailing lists, and to create a list of them, would be to use clever google searches for things like Pipermail, and other mailing list software

https://mail.python.org/pipermail/chicago/

A great structure would be .mbox, but it's not necessary.

Answer 1

It's not a "diverse" community, but here are some lists of mailing lists from tech communities.

• https://lists.w3.org/

• https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo

• https://commons.apache.org/mail-lists.html

Especially with the Wikimedia lists, there would be multiple written languages.
