If by "mailing list" you mean your list of
Contacts within Opera, you
might try <URL: http://www.
hallvord.com/opera/adr2tab.htm >.
If you meant that you want to export all the messages in one
of the
mailing list views, I don't know of any third-party tools
available for
that. You might be able to adapt this one <URL:

purpose if you
don't mind tinkering with the Python script a bit.
Otherwise, you might use try forcing Opera to re-index your
messages, and
possibly re-install Opera, then try the export operation
again. Of course
you should make sure you've got a good backup of all your
Opera files
before trying this. An even more drastic approach, but with
a greater
chance of success, would be to back up all your files,
uninstall Opera and
delete everything in your Mail folder, reinstall Opera, use
the MBS2MBX
tool (mentioned above) on your saved mail messages, and then
import the
MBS2MBX output files into Opera, which will give you a shiny
clean
installation with properly indexed messages so you can
export whatever you
need to.
