I was reading the FAQ on the mail archives site and noticed this in the "Will this service work for my list" section:
"We do not archive lists whose name does not begin with a letter." "We require that the name of the list be present somewhere in the email headers. Almost all mailing lists do this automatically. For example, when people send mail to the list [EMAIL PROTECTED], the name of the list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) shows up prominently in the To: header as well as other places. A few lists do funny tricks with email headers, and try to hide the name of the list. Spammers are notorious for forging and hiding headers. Sometimes even legitimate lists will try to hide the listname. This is most common when the list is for one-to-many communications, as opposed to many-to-many communications. Any list that mangles email headers to hide its name is incompatible with the service and will not be archived. -- We do not archive lists whose name does not begin with a letter. -- We've found that list names beginning with numbers or unusual punctuation are almost always "noise" (unsolicited commercial email or spam.) We do not archive any lists originating at YahooGroups, for a variety of reasons."

That was going to be my suggestion as well. You can even forward all the old archives to mail-archive.com, so everything is available. Once its there, it'll be all good. :-D
