} Looks like it wouldn't take nearly as long as I originally thought to GET
} all the weekly logs for ten years of archives.

The facilities I have makes it quite simple.  I have a real text editor
that is programmable with rex macros and read mail on a unix system with
a text based mailer.  I request a years worth of archives at a time, d/l
the HUGE file to my PC and run a Kedit macro that breaks it up and zips
the individual weekly or monthly logs into an archives directory.

Takes a few mins to update last years saved request and send it,
(c/2005/2006/) and another few mins to d/l the file and break it up.
