Nahhhhh I just wrote some quick Powershell to scrape all the messages from the API into json files and I do a grep for interesting terms [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Quote:
PS C:\> $count = 0; for ( ;$count -le 10000; ) { curl.exe -s "https://groups.yahoo.com/api/v1/groups/eqbards/
messages/$count" | Out-File "$count.json"; $count++; }
Powershell is a little better than Bash for this because you can also use it to do post-processing with the ConvertFrom-Json commandlet, and it parses the json into a full fledged object. That's how I clean up the emails.
