Good idea, but very difficult. The messages are not stored in HTML format but in the same text format as in the archives. The HTML is generated on the fly each time someone looks at a message. The same is true with the index page. It would not work if moved to a local hard drive. I may be able to create an index in HTML to be stored in the zip file and used with the text messages.
