Archived Emails are deleted after a year.
I have had a number of instances where it would be advantageous for me to access a deleted email. Individually downloading each email to my computer, as I receive it, would be time consuming.
What I would like to see is a download function added to the archive page with the ability to specify a date range of the emails to be downloaded.
I'd like to second that. Although I haven't used the archive facility in earnest, there are several now expired e-mails that I wish I could somehow how saved for posterity because they contained useful information.

I'd just assumed that that was 'part of the service' but I don't send that many messages. Good to know it will be an option 'in the future'.
How hard would it be to 'mail' it to the traditional e-mail of the name holder? It's been way to long since I sent mail manually over a pine account or similar.
All of the reader/author communication was by email until early June 2017, which was when the current system went online.
Lord Laz's reply to a suggestion authors could make their own decision as to how they wanted their feedback (SOL email or real email) was:
Big part of this change is the privacy of both authors and readers. Having a switch at the disposal of the author that can simply circumvent such protection negates the whole system.
I can tell you now without hesitation that emails containing full addresses like before will never happen. The most that's going to be is what I deployed today. You'll get copies, but you can't reply using your email client.
That policy would not obstruct what you are suggesting.
