Hypermail is a free program for creating email archives, in the form of cross-referenced HTML documents.
It takes a file in Unix mbox format and generates an HTML archive, complete with an index and various sorting options.
Originally written in 1994 by Tom Gruber using Common Lisp,[2] it was rewritten in C by Kevin Hughes for its initial public release in 1994.
[1] The mbox format is used by several email clients on various platforms, including most Unix and Linux ones.
Popular examples of email clients that use the mbox format (and as such are compatible with Hypermail) include Kmail, pine and Mozilla Thunderbird.
