Python list archives double-gzipped?

Show all headers | View raw

Playing around with the mbox module, I reached into the archives[1]
to grab some real-world data files[2].  To successfully unpack the
contents to an mbox file, I had to do the following:

  bash$ gunzip 2012-July.txt.gz
  bash$ mv 2012-July.txt 2012-July.txt.gz
  bash$ gunzip 2012-July.txt.gz

So it looks like some python-list@ archiving process is double
gzip'ing the archives.  Can anybody else confirm this and get the
info the right people?
