[BioPython] Removing spam from the biopython-dev archives

[Michiel Jan Laurens de Hoon]

I have created a new source file for the biopython mailing list archive 
from the contributions of various people. As far as I can tell, the 
archive is complete now. I have asked the biopython.org mailing list 
administrator to upload and install the new archive, which by the way is 
spam-free.
Thanks everybody!
