the link should work in notmuch-emacs if you already have a copy of the
existing messages in your mailstore.  if you subscribed to the mailing
list after those e-mails were sent, you won't have the messages in your
mailing list.

yes, that's the right file.  unfortunately, pipermail doesn't do a great
job at mailing list archives or making them fetchable.

If you can spare ~125MB, you could fetch the full mbox and put it in a
maildir within your notmuch folder so you can read it.

It'd be nice for someoneā„¢ to put up a read-only notmuch-web interface to
the notmuch mailing list archive in the future, though. ;)

To try the patches, you'd need to get set up being able to build the
source code; once you have a patch in an e-mail file, you can apply it
with "git am".  If you just have a raw patch, you can apply it with "git
apply" instead.

please see:

for more details on working with the source and patches.
