It has been reported, and I have verified that the compressed list
archives on lists.osgeo.org are unreadable. The .gz can be uncompressed,
but the contents is not plain text as you'd expect.

To reproduce the issue, visit http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/sac/ and
try to download and open any of the .gz archives.

Comment (by ajolma):

They seem to be doubly gzipped. Gunzip the gunzipped and you get the text
at the end of a long path (/var/lib/mailman/archives/private/sac).

Comment (by mloskot):

I can confirm the same problem occurs with archives of other lists like
[http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/geos-devel/ geos-devel] or
[http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/ggl/ ggl]

Would it be possible to fix it?

Comment:

Current list archives appear to be generated properly and extract using
zcat to plain text as expected for at least
https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/sac/2006-April.txt.gz and
https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/sac/2018-February.txt.gz

Marking as resolved - if old broken archives have been stored elsewhere
and need to be fixed, a new ticket should be opened for that purpose.
