Re: Downloaded articles format

Thank you all foe help!

*Zan Lynx: *Thank you! I didn't know that! Mostly, I am using R, but I will
try with Python. It seems very helpful. I have tried to download data from
archive.org (in R there is a mboxr package to load this data as tibble),
but I have a problem with utf-8 encoding (lack of some polish letters). I
think that the problem occurs because of the data itself (not importing
them to R), so I am looking for another way to download this data.

John Wendel: I forgot to tell: I am using Windows 10 :) I found
the UUDeview version for Windows - I will try, thank you!

Beata :)
