"automatically" means I add it to my archive system, which includes
djgpp and cygwin mail archives - hundreds of thousands of emails.  I
would like to think about this some more before committing - perhaps
"last N days" or "this week" might be reasonable compromizes?

The worst case is when someone uses "download for offline viewing" and
ends up with a dozen copies of each of the thousands of emails because
they ended up following links for *all* the download options.

Plus, zip is a bad choice for compression.  .tar.bz2 would give a much
smaller total file size.  But that's harder to use in a non-unix
environment.
